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? In AREDS2, the rate of change in cognitive function scores over time was not significantly different across aMED tertiles (P-interaction = 0.22 for TICS-M; 0.91 for composite). → Keenan Tiarnán D. 2020

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Longitudinal analysis in AREDS2 using repeated TICS-M and composite assessments at baseline, 2, 4, and 10 years, testing aMED tertile by study year interaction. The article reports "the rate of change over time in cognitive function scores was not significantly different according to aMED tertiles".
"In AREDS2, the rate of change over time in cognitive function scores was not significantly different according to aMED tertiles: the P-interaction values between aMED tertile and study year were 0.22 (TICS-M) and 0.91 (composite)."
