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.

q3 · i? · associational · r1
ANOVA on perceived group status across grade levels. The study reports "fourth graders (M = 1.36, SD = 1.13) reported lower status perceptions than second graders (M = 1.49, SD = 1.11)" and an "interaction between ethnicity and grade on status".
"fourth graders (M = 1.36, SD = 1.13) reported lower status perceptions than second graders (M = 1.49, SD = 1.11), F(1,391) = 5.18, p = .023, η2 = .01. These main effects were qualified by an interaction between ethnicity and grade on status, F(4,391) = 3.65, p = .006, η2 = .04."
