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? Follow-up estimates were very imprecise, with wide confidence intervals covering both positive and negative effects for reading and spelling. → Danielle Colenbrander 2024

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3
Follow-up RVE analyses based on few studies (reading: 8 effect sizes, 3 studies; spelling: 5 effect sizes, 2 studies). "At follow-up measurement, we found estimated effects to be very imprecise and on average reach SMC/SMD = 0.67 for reading (SE = 0.69; 95% CI = -2.29–3.62)"; spelling was similarly imprecise (0.77, CI = -2.09–3.63).
