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? Effect sizes for articles (d = .78) and theses (d = .57) were both significant, but the subgroup difference was not (Q = 2.27, df = 1, p = .13). → Pinar Karaman 2021

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3

Mixed-effects subgroup analysis comparing 33 effect sizes from published articles with 14 from master's and doctoral theses. The article reports the subgroups "did not make a significant contribution to the variance"; the author concludes the finding was resistant to file-drawer threat.

"Heterogeneity test also showed that effect sizes of subgroups according to their publication type did not make a significant contribution to the variance (Q=2.27, df=1, p= .13)."
