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 i1 Across 35 experimental studies (3472 participants), instructional support shows a moderate positive random-effects effect of g = 0.39 on diagnostic competences. → Olga Chernikova 2020
