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? Four of five studies comparing DLRs to the use of clinical practice guidelines found no between-group difference; one found significant knowledge and self-reported competence gains for interactive web-based training over guideline-only. → Bakkum 2019

q3 · i? · review · r3
Review synthesis of head-to-head comparisons against clinical practice guidelines. The review reports "Four of five studies comparing DLRs to the use of clinical practice guidelines found no between‐group difference"; the exception reported higher knowledge (8.4 ± 0.8 vs. 6.1 ± 1.3 on a 9-question scale) after interactive web-based training on opioid prescribing.
"Four of five studies comparing DLRs to the use of clinical practice guidelines found no between‐group difference."
