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.
q3 i1 Facilitation of integration is a significant moderator of drawing support effects on comprehension: g = 0.35 with facilitation versus g = −0.15 without. → Detlev Leutner · Johanna Biele 2025

q3 · i1 · quant-synthesis · r?
Moderator analysis in the random-effects meta-analysis of comprehension outcomes. Facilitation of integration was a "significant moderator", Q(1) = 7.90, p = 0.005; supported drawing expected to facilitate integration yielded g = 0.35, p = 0.048, versus g = − 0.15, p = 0.186, without facilitation.
"turned out to be a significant moderator of the effect of drawing support on students' comprehension, Q(1) = 7.90, p = 0.005, with an aggregated effect size of g = 0.35, p = 0.048, for facilitation, and of g = − 0.15, p = 0.186, for no facilitation of integration"
