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? Better hearing was associated with better speech and language development at 3 years of age. → Ching Teresa Y. C. 2010

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Spearman rank order correlations among outcome measures in a population-based cross-sectional study of 133 children with hearing loss assessed at 3 years. The article reports that "better hearing was associated with better speech and language development"; Table III shows correlations of 3FA HL with PLS-AC of −.35 and PLS-EC of −.42 (p < .01).
"The severity of hearing loss was significantly negatively related to language development (PLS-4 standard scores and CDI quotients) indicating that better hearing was associated with better speech and language development."
