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? · review · r2
Narrative review reporting correlational parent–child reminiscing studies, attributed to Peterson et al., Reese et al., Fivush et al. and others. The review states elaborative parenting "relates to children’s vocabulary" and other outcomes; no effect sizes are printed.
"These studies have found that parental variance in behavior during reminiscing —particularly the extent to which a parent is elaborative—relates to children’s vocabulary (Peterson et al. 1999), independent narrative skills (Reese et al.2010), autobiographical memory (Fivush et al.2011), and social and emotional skills"
