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 i? Experiment group children's expressive language standard scores rose significantly from pretest to posttest (z=-4.217, p=0.001). → Okyay 2017

q3 · i? · causal · r1
Wilcoxon Signed Rank analysis of TIFALDI expressive subtest scores for the 26-child experiment group; pretest mean 120.9 (ss 10.1) versus posttest mean 130.1 (ss 8.5). The article reports the difference as statistically significant with z= -4.217, p= 0.001; no effect size is printed.
"Another statistically significant difference is observed between the pre -test and post -test scores of the children in the experiment group, in the expressive language test as well (z= -4.217, p= 0.001)"
