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 · i1 · causal · r?
A retrospective quasi-experimental study of K–8 students in 16 schools in a charter network in Florida and North Carolina during the 2020–2021 school year. The "treatment group consisted of 9,015 students" matched with an equal number of non-users; the effect size was +0.08.
"The treatment group consisted of 9,015 students who logged any usage of Imagine Math and were matched with an equal number of non-users from the same network. Students using Imagine Math scored significantly higher than comparison students on the NWEA MAP Growth Math assessment (effect size = +0.08)."
