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? The review identified 22 studies using 24 tools, most evaluating arthroscopic procedures, with orthopaedic subspecialties limited to trauma, sports medicine, spine, and upper extremity. → Li Yibo 2024

q3 · i? · review · r3
Study and tool characterization from the scoping review's results: 22 studies using 24 procedure-specific tools, mostly in simulation settings, assessing procedures from knee arthroscopy to fracture fixation. The discussion notes "Thirteen tools evaluated arthroscopic procedures, and only five evaluated fracture osteosynthesis".
"Thirteen tools evaluated arthroscopic procedures, and only five evaluated fracture osteosynthesis. Orthopaedic subspecialties represented include only trauma, sports medicine, spine, and upper extremity."
