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 2 included studies, the pooled risk ratio for student satisfaction with PBL versus LBL was 1.18 (0.96, 1.46), with the lower CI below 1, indicating no significant difference. → Xu Wei 2021

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r1
Pooling of the 2 included studies that measured student satisfaction; the pooled RR was 1.18 (0.96, 1.46). Because the lower confidence bound was below 1, the authors conclude "there was no difference between the satisfaction of students to PBL and LBL curriculum"; no standardized effect size is printed.
"The RRs were risk rate between PBL and LBL curriculum and calculated to be 1.18 (0.96, 1.46) (Fig. 4). However, the low CI was less than 1, which indicated there was no significance for the pooled RRs. Therefore, the result indicated that there was no difference between the satisfaction of students to PBL and LBL curriculum."
