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.
q4 i? In a randomized controlled trial, the percentage of students chronically absent (missing 10 percent or more of instructional time) was significantly lower in EWIMS schools (10 percent) than in control schools (14 percent). → Faria 2017

q4 · i? · causal · r2
Randomized controlled trial of 73 high schools (37 EWIMS, 36 control) with 37,671 first- and second-year students; multilevel regression on extant student records. The model-adjusted chronic absence rate was "lower in EWIMS schools (10 percent) than in control schools (14 percent)".
"The percentage of students who were chronically absent (that is, missed 10 percent or more of instructional time) was lower in EWIMS schools (10 percent) than in control schools (14 percent; see figure 3). This 4 percentage point difference was statistically significant."
