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? The high dose group attained at least one STEM accomplishment at 42.2% versus 35.3% for low dose (gain ratio 1.194, 95% CI 1.049–1.359). → Wai 2004

q2 · i? · associational · r?
Combined-cohort (weighted equally) comparison on the composite outcome of at least one STEM accomplishment. High dose 42.2% versus low dose 35.3%, gain ratio "1.194 (1.049, 1.359)"; the difference CI (0.019, 0.118) excludes zero.
"At Least One 35.3% 42.2% (0.019, 0.118) 1.194 (1.049, 1.359)"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- High versus low STEM educational dose shows no statistically significant difference in STEM tenure, patents, or STEM occupation for the combined cohorts — related
- High STEM educational dose is associated with a higher rate of earning a STEM PhD than low dose across three talent-search cohorts combined — related
- High STEM educational dose is associated with roughly double the rate of STEM publications compared with low dose — related
- STEM educational dose levels rose across successive talent-search cohorts, with later cohorts showing higher median dose
