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.

q2 i? Post-test lexical density was equal in means (M = 0.20, SD = 0.04 both groups) and not statistically different. → Jayaron Jose & Mohammed Jafre Zainol Abidin 2016

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Post-test t-test on lexical density between the OFD group (M = 0.20, SD = 0.04) and blog group (M = 0.20, SD = 0.04); the article finds "no significant diff erence between both the groups". No effect size printed.

"The statistical analysis (Table 5) finds that there is no significant diff erence between both the groups t(54) = -0.45, p = 0.65 (p > .05)."
