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? The intervention appeared more effective at reducing absenteeism for KS4 pupils than for KS3 pupils, a subgroup pattern of note because absenteeism increases as pupils progress through school. → Miller 2016

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Subgroup observation reported in the executive summary of the cluster RCT, comparing the absenteeism effect between the KS4 and KS3 cohorts. The hedged wording ("It appears") and absence of a printed subgroup effect size mean the contrast is descriptive rather than a tested estimate.

"It appears the intervention wa s more effective in reducing absenteeism in the KS4 cohort compared to KS3."
