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.

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2
Meta-analysis of 6 studies involving 878 students, of whom 460 received PBL, reporting satisfaction with improved communication skills, random-effects model. The pooled risk ratio favored PBL: "RR = 1.66, 95% CI [1.22, 2.27], P = .001, I2 = 85%"; no standardized effect size was printed for this outcome.
"Compared with LBL, a higher proportion of students believed that PBL had a greater impact on improving communication skills thinking (64.8% in the PBL group vs 44.3% in the LBL group, RR = 1.66, 95% CI [1.22, 2.27], P = .001, I2 = 85%)."
