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? Among six comparative studies, five found peer-assisted learning comparably effective and one found it better than faculty-led courses. → Winter Lone 2024

q2 · i? · review · r3
Systematic review synthesis of six comparative studies of peer- versus faculty-led undergraduate ultrasound courses. The review reports "five found peer-assisted learning to be comparably effective and one even better than faculty-led courses"; no pooled effect size is printed.
"Of six comparative studies, five found peer-assisted learning to be comparably effective and one even better than faculty-led courses."
