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? In the reviewed quantitative studies, females' computer knowledge was lower than that of males and males' ICT ability was higher than females'. → Laakkonen Noora 2024

q2 · i? · review · r2
Narrative synthesis of cross-sectional studies included in the review; the Adatara et al. study found gender differences in ICT use. The review reports "females' computer knowledge was lower than that of males" and "males' ICT ability was higher than females".
"It was evident that females' computer knowledge was lower than that of males, and the proportion of females not knowing how to use computerised patient monitoring systems was higher than that of males. Therefore, males' ICT ability was higher than females [43]."
