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 diversity did not differ significantly between the OFD group (M = 4.17, SD = 0.62) and the blog group (M = 4.26, SD = 0.63). → Jayaron Jose & Mohammed Jafre Zainol Abidin 2016

q2 · i? · causal · r1
Quasi-experimental between-groups post-test comparison of 28 OFD and 28 blog participants; the article reports "no significant difference between both the groups t (54) = -0.53, p = 0.59". No effect size is printed.
"The t test analysis (Table 3) has found that there is no significant difference between both the groups t (54) = -0.53, p = 0.59 (p > .05)."
