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 i3 Across three studies, educational interventions significantly raised nurse leaders' EBP competence with a large pooled effect (SMD = 1.76). → Varpula Jaakko 2026

q2 · i3 · quant-synthesis · r1
Meta-analysis of three studies measuring EBP competence with scales such as the EBP Nurse Leadership Scale and Nursing Manager EBP Competency Scale, comparing baseline and post-intervention values. The review reports "a SMD of 1.76 (95% CI: 1.39, 2.13; p < 0.00001)".
"The post‐intervention value was significantly higher than the baseline value, with a SMD of 1.76 (95% CI: 1.39, 2.13; p < 0.00001)."
