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? Composite scores on a 1–100 scale differed significantly by training level: 32.9 (SD 11.4) for general surgery residents, 65.1 (SD 11.5) for cardiothoracic residents and 88.3 (SD 7.8) for attending surgeons (p < 0.001). → EL-Andari R 2023

q2 · i? · review · r2
Construct-validity comparison using a low-fidelity mitral valve replacement trainer: times to completion, needle angle, accuracy, suture placement and knot tying were compared between general surgery residents, cardiothoracic residents and attending surgeons, with "significant differences between groups for all scores measured".
"The scores achieved were 32.9 (standard deviation [SD] 11.4), 65.1 (SD 11.5) and 88.3 (SD 7.8) for general surgery residents, cardiothoracic surgery residents and attending surgeons, respectively (p < 0.001)."
