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 i2 The multivariable OR for three positive responses compared to none in the highest compared to the lowest quartile of daily racism was 2.50 (95% CI 2.09 to 2.98) for the first three memory questions and 2.50 (95% CI 1.37 to 4.56) for the last three non-memory questions. → Coogan P 2020

Supplementary analysis calculating ORs separately for the first three cognitive questions addressing memory and the last three capturing other aspects of cognition. The OR "for the first three questions was 2.50 (95% CI 2.09 to 2.98) and for the last three questions the comparable OR was also 2.50 (95% CI 1.37 to 4.56)". The printed effect sizes are OR = 2.50 for both question subsets.
"the multivariable OR for three positive responses compared to none in the highest compared to the lowest quartile of daily racism for the first three questions was 2.50 (95% CI 2.09 to 2.98) and for the last three questions the comparable OR was also 2.50 (95% CI 1.37 to 4.56)"
