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.
q1 i? Poverty in the microsystem significantly influences youth learning, and students preoccupied with basic needs such as hunger are less focused on learning tasks. → Adar Ben-Eliyahu · Matthew L. Bernacki 2026

Theoretical essay's ecological mapping, citing reviewed literature on poverty's effects on cognitive development, academic performance, and long-term educational outcomes (Brooks-Gunn & Duncan, 1997; Evans & English, 2002; Heckman, 2006), and a school free breakfast program recognizing it can be hard to concentrate on an empty stomach.
