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? After a proctor notification was triggered, test-taking engagement tended to increase. → Steven Wise 2019

The abstract reports the study's headline result: "after a proctor notification was triggered, test-taking engagement tended to increase." The hedged wording (tended to) is retained; no effect size is printed in the available text.
"The results showed that, after a proctor notification was triggered, test-taking engagement tended to increase, test performance improved, and test scores exhibited higher convergent validation evidence."
