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? Across 17 included studies, communication, environmental factors, anticipation and teamwork emerged as the key non-technical skills for robotic-assisted surgery. → Mahendran Vimaladhithan 2024

q3 · i? · review · r3
Systematic review per PRISMA searching PubMed, PsycINFO, MEDLINE and EMBASE; seventeen studies met inclusion criteria and were fully analysed. The review reports that "Communication, environmental factors, anticipation and teamwork were key NTS for RAS."
"Seventeen studies were eligible for the final analysis. Communication, environmental factors, anticipation and teamwork were key NTS for RAS."
