Subclaims¶
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? Four screening criteria identified 112 studies as potentially relevant for the meta-analysis, but a second round of scrutiny excluded many for unsuitable designs, different research questions, incomplete reporting, or no clear basis for comparison. → Douglas Biber 2011

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2
The meta-analysis screening (Section 4.1) required publication between 1982 and 2007, quantitative measures with an experimental or quasi-experimental design, feedback-characteristic independent variables, and writing-behavior outcome indicators: "112 studies were identified as potentially relevant for the meta-analysis." Reported exclusions include 24 correlational designs, 24 with incomplete statistical reporting, 16 addressing different questions, 14 with no comparison basis, and 11 with multiple treatments and a single posttest.
"Based on these criteria, 112 studies were identified as potentially relevant for the meta-analysis. These studies were then subjected to a second round of closer scrutiny to determine if the design and reporting standards were in fact adequate for our purposes here."
