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? In vessel-suturing studies using the Northwestern Objective Microanastomosis Assessment Tool, the mean NOMAT score of the untrained group was significantly lower than that of the trained group (p = 0.02 and p = 0.01). → Chawla Shreya 2022

q3 · i? · review · r3

Sub-group analysis of two vessel-suturing studies (synthetic and placenta models) both using NOMAT for construct validity: "the untrained group was significantly lower than that of the trained group" with printed p-values of 0.02 and 0.01; no effect size printed.

"The mean NOMAT score of the untrained group was significantly lower than that of the trained group in the studies by Aoun et al. (2015) [6] (p = 0.02) and Belykh et al. (2016) [12] (p = 0.01)."
