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.
q4 i1 In the nine-study subset with both quality ratings and child development data, the child-level effect is small (ES = 0.14; SE = 0.02, p < .001). → F. Egert 2018

q4 · i1 · quant-synthesis · r?
Meta-analytic subset analysis of nine studies including 486 teachers and 4,504 children that provided data on both quality ratings and child development. The printed effect size is ES = 0.14 (SE = 0.02, p < .001), reported as "a small effect at child level".
"a subset of nine studies (including 486 teachers and 4,504 children) that provided data on both quality ratings and child development were analyzed, and they showed a small effect at child level (ES = 0.14; SE = 0.02, p < .001)"
