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 i2 Across three studies, educational interventions produced a statistically significant improvement in nurse leaders' implementation leadership with a moderate pooled effect (SMD = 0.74). → Varpula Jaakko 2026

q2 · i2 · quant-synthesis · r1
Meta-analysis of three studies measuring implementation leadership with instruments such as the Implementation Leadership Scale, pooled as standardized mean differences between baseline and post-intervention. The review reports "a SMD of 0.74 (95% CI: 0.38.1.11; p < 0.0001)" favoring the intervention.
"A meta‐analysis of these three studies revealed a statistically significant improvement favoring the intervention, with a SMD of 0.74 (95% CI: 0.38.1.11; p < 0.0001)."
