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? Of the six open hernia repair simulation models reviewed, none demonstrated educational impact in addition to assessing validity. → Pelly T. 2021
q2 i? There were fewer attempts to measure educational impact in open than in laparoscopic hernia repair models. → Pelly T. 2021

q2 · i? · review · r2
Systematic review synthesis across the six open hernia repair models identified (silicon, animal and VR types); the review reports "fewer attempts to measure educational impact in the open hernia repair models than the laparoscopic models". The abstract states none of the six demonstrated educational impact.
"There were fewer attempts to measure educational impact in the open hernia repair models than the laparoscopic models."
