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? Immersion was a significant within-subject moderator (F = 13.01, p < .01), but the largest category estimate was based on a single effect size. → Xiaoxuan Li · Julia Chatain · Fan Wang · Manu Kapur 2026

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3
Within-subject meta-regression of immersion (F = 13.01, p < .01). The no-technology category showed g = 2.05 but was based on only one effect size; the authors call the result unstable and not readily generalizable.
"the no technology category showed the largest effect ( g = 2.05, 95% CI [1.07, 3.02]) but was based on only one effect size."
