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.
q2 i? Personal discomfort when viewing skin lesion images was the dominant least-enjoyable theme (n̄ = 23.5), confirming the quantitative finding on emotional distress (IB3). → Ralf Raumanns 2026
q2 i? Repetitiveness of labelling large image sets was the second drawback (n̄ = 12), and technical friction such as cumbersome tool setup overshadowed learning potential for some participants. → Ralf Raumanns 2026

Ralf Raumanns 2026¶
Ralf Raumanns, Theresa Elstner, Louis Ferger-Andrews, Louise M. Carlsen, Martin Potthast, Gerard Schouten, Josien P. W. Pluim, and Veronika Cheplygina. (2026).

q2 · i? · design · r2
Thematic analysis of open-ended least-enjoyable responses from the 43-student survey. Discomfort (n̄ = 23.5) dominated; repetitiveness (n̄ = 12) was second. About 40% of students agreed or strongly agreed viewing images caused discomfort on the Likert item.
"We identified personal discomfort as the domi- nant complaint ( ¯n = 23 .5). This occurred when viewing images of skin lesions. We found that this confirmed the quantitative findings on emo- tional distress (IB3)."
