Subclaims¶
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? Cumulative risk showed higher correlations with each outcome than any individual risk index, though the differences in correlation were not statistically significant. → Dilnot 2017

Correlational analysis (Table 3) relating risk indices to reading readiness and attention/behaviour in the full sample. The article reports "the index of cumulative risk shows a higher correlation with each of the outcome measures than any of the other risks in isolation".
"As predicted, the index of cumulative risk shows a higher correlation with each of the outcome measures than any of the other risks in isolation."
