Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? The review's findings are limited to Algebra I and Geometry; Algebra II and the three Integrated Math courses have no qualifying evidence. → Cognitive Tutor® 2016

Scope statement from the WWC systematic review: of 22 eligible studies identified, only those of Algebra I and Geometry met group design standards. Table 1 lists "No evidence" for Algebra II and Integrated Math I, II, and III, so no effectiveness rating is reported for those courses.
"The findings in this report pertain only to Cognitive Tutor® Algebra I and Cognitive Tutor® Geometry. No studies that examine Cognitive Tutor® Algebra II or Cognitive Tutor® Integrated Math I, II, and III fall within the scope of the Secondary Mathematics review protocol and meet WWC group design standards."
