The review's own synthesis statement about its body of reviewed experiments. It explicitly hedges the support as "to varying extents" and reports no pooled effect size in the supplied text.

"The learning benefits of these forms of interactivity are supported, to varying extents, by a growing number of results from experimental studies."
