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 i0 Across 2 studies (43 participants), total procedure time for gastroscopy did not differ significantly between simulator and no-simulator groups (Std. Mean Difference 0.01, 95% CI −0.61–0.59, P=0.98). → Qiao Weiguang 2014

q3 · i0 · quant-synthesis · r2

Meta-analysis pooling gastroscopy procedure-time outcomes from "2 studies, 43 participants". The printed effect size is "Std. Mean Difference 0.01" with CI −0.61–0.59 and P=0.98; heterogeneity I² was 0% (P=0.45).

"There is no statistically significant difference in total procedure time for gastroscopy between the simulator group and no simulator group (2 studies, 43 participants, Std. Mean Difference 0.01, 95% CI −0.61–0.59, P = 0.98)."
