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 i3 Spanish RNA gain scores favored the home plus preschool group over the preschool-only group (d = 0.91). → Baker 2016
q2 i2 Spanish RVK gain scores favored the home plus preschool group (d = 0.79); English comparisons were not significant. → Baker 2016

q2 · i3 · causal · r1
Gain-score comparison within the treatment group of Study 1 between 6 children in the home plus preschool condition and 25 children in the preschool-only condition. The article reports d = 0.91 on Spanish RNA and d = 0.79 on Spanish RVK, both significant; English RNA and RVK gain comparisons were not significant.
"Differences on the Spanish RNA were 1.39 points, favoring the home plus preschool intervention group ( d ¼ 0.91). Differences on the Spanish RVK were 2.39 points favoring the home plus preschool intervention ( d ¼ 0.79)."
