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 i2 Matching items were verified faster than mismatching items in the SPVT (ηp² = 0.08), and a significant main effect of matching also appeared in the SSJT (ηp² = 0.14). → Björn B. de Koning 2017

Response-time analysis of the sentence-picture verification task at pretest. The article reports "a significant main effect of matching in the SPVT" with F(1,112) = 9.04, ηp² = 0.08, and separately a significant main effect of matching in the SSJT (F(1,113) = 18.34, p < 0.001, ηp² = 0.14), which it says reinforced the validity of both tasks.

"there was a significant main effect of matching in the SPVT (F(1,112) = 9.04, p =0 . 0 0 ,ηp 2 = 0.08), indicating that matching items (where the pictured shape was the same as the shape implied in the sentence) were verified faster than mismatching items"
