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? Late-experience cases had a statistically significant reduction in operative time of −31.77 min (95% CI −51.40 to −12.14) compared with early cases. → Ramadanov N 2026

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3
Random-effects meta-analysis of seven studies reporting operative time, comparing early versus late surgeon experience phases in hip arthroscopy. The pooled estimate showed "a statistically significant reduction in operative time of –31.77 min", with high heterogeneity (I² = 92%).
"The pooled estimate under the random‐effects model showed a statistically significant reduction in operative time of –31.77 min (95% confidence interval [CI] –51.40 to –12.14)."
