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.
q3 i? Experimental-group learners improved significantly more than control-group learners in recognizing incorrect subject-verb agreement between pre-test and post-test. → Seyyed Yavar Hosseininik & Hamid Rahmani Sangani 2014

q3 · i? · causal · r1
Paired t-test on the twenty-item error recognition test for subject-verb agreement, comparing pre-test and post-test performance of the experimental group (t = -13.629, df = 27, p = .000); the control group also improved (t = -5.610) but less. The article states the difference is "markedly in favor of the experimental group."
"Table1 shows that, for the experimental group’s performance over the pre-test and the post, the obtained value for p with 27 degrees of freedom at the 0.05 level of significance is .000."
