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? Female students (M = 5.83) performed significantly worse than male students (M = 6.10), F(1, 2978) = 21.17, p < 0.001. → Glöckner 2013

Descriptive and regression analysis of 71,405 exams from 2,979 students. "Also both the general and the area-of-law specific learning effects of experience were higher for male students." No effect size is reported for this difference.
"the data revealed a general gender effect, in that female (M = 5.83, SE = 0.039, N = 1,508) performed significantly worse than male ( M = 6.10, SE = 0.041, N = 1,471) students, F(1, 2978) = 21.17, p\ 0.001."
