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.
q2 i? Despite the method's high popularity, the available evidence for jigsaw effectiveness was scant and mixed, and no meta-analysis or systematic review existed before this one. → Eva Vives 2024

The review's motivation statement, assessing the state of the jigsaw literature prior to this synthesis: evidence is described as "scant and mixed" with "neither meta-analysis nor systematic review" previously available. This is the review's characterization of the field, not a new empirical result.
"Despite its high popularity, the available evidence for the effectiveness of this method seems scant and mixed, with neither meta-analysis nor systematic review."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Evidence on meditation and academic achievement is scant: only three published studies, with the strongest from TM programmes on standardised test scores — related
- Many popular school-based prevention approaches have not been well studied to date — related
- The jigsaw review revealed research trends, research gaps, and issues of research integrity in the jigsaw literature — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
