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.
q2 i? MetaLight's interface has been designed to develop understanding of the relationship between effect sizes and their appearance on the forest plot, the impact of fixed or random effects model selection, and how funnel plots are constructed. → Thomas James 2012

The authors describe the design intent of the MetaLight application in the Results and discussion section. The interface design targets three specific learning goals: "the relationship between effect sizes and their appearance on the forest plot", model selection impact, and funnel plot construction.
"Its interface has been designed to develop understanding of: the relationship between effect sizes and their appearance on the forest plot; the impact on results of selecting a fixed or random effects model; and how funnel plots are constructed."
