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.
q3 i? The pooled estimate did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference in overall complication rates between late and early cases (OR 0.42; 95% CI 0.12 to 1.51); equivalence was not tested. → Ramadanov N 2026

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3
Random-effects meta-analysis of six studies reporting overall complications, where individual odds ratios ranged from 0.09 to 2.15 and most studies showed lower rates in late cases. The pooled model "did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference", with substantial heterogeneity (I² = 81%).
"The pooled random‐effects model did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference in overall complication rates between late and early cases (OR 0.42; 95% CI 0.12 to 1.51)."
