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 i3 Residents were more satisfied with narrative medicine education than LBL (OR = 6.67, 95% CI 1.74 to 25.51), but after trim-and-fill adjustment the difference was no longer significant (P = 0.053). → Dai Dongjun 2026

q3 · i3 · quant-synthesis · r2
Random-effects meta-analysis of 6 randomized controlled studies (192 vs 192 residents) reporting resident satisfaction as a binary outcome. The pooled effect size OR = 6.67 (95% CI 1.74 to 25.51) was significant (P < 0.001) with moderate heterogeneity (I2 = 50.9%).
