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.

q1 i? Comic pictures reduce the degree of abstraction of texts and present text patterns sequentially because comic texts are framed. → Roozafzai 2012

The author's interpretation in the discussion section about why comic materials may have been more effective, offered as a possible explanation rather than a tested result.
"Another serious effect of visuals is that they reduce the degree of abstraction of texts. So, as comic texts are framed, comic pictures can present and depict their text pattern sequentially and according to this study, it might have helped students more effectively in reading comic texts than general ones."
