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? Across the 61 included articles, HR/HRV-based monitoring technologies were the most frequently used tools for monitoring physiological stress responses in surgical training and real interventions. → Tjønnås Maria Suong 2022
