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? Children received visual grounding making problem structure accessible while parents received text-based guidance for prompting and continuing tutoring interaction. → LUO Lan 2024

q2 · i? · causal · r1
User study finding from 23 parent-child dyads. The role separation allowed children to remain actively involved in reasoning while preserving the parent as the primary tutor. Support was distributed in complementary forms across the two user roles.
"ParaTutor's role-separated scaffolding distributed support across parents and children in complementary forms. Children received visual grounding that made the problem structure more accessible, inspectable, and discussable, while parents received text-based guidance"
