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? In Engle's 2012 retrospective review, studies where the four PDE principles were most strongly embodied were also associated with the strongest PDE outcomes. → Daniel T. Hickey 2026

q2 · i? · theoretical · r3
A retrospective review by Engle (2012) systematically reviewed 23 studies of PDE using "rough synoptic estimates" of each study's embodiment of the four principles (strong, moderate, weak, or mixed) and evidence of three outcomes. The review reports that "studies where the four principles were most strongly embodied were also associated with the strongest PDE outcomes." No effect size is printed.
"That analysis showed that studies where the four principles were most strongly embodied were also associated with the strongest PDE outcomes"
