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.
q1 i? Examination of student-formed diagrams showed misconceptions were generally reflected in the drawn visuals, and some warned students did not repeat those misconceptions in the posttest. → Kocakaya and Gönen 2014

q1 · i? · causal · r2
Authors' qualitative examination of diagrams and true-false 'because' justifications, reported as an interpretation in the Discussion rather than a tested comparison; they also note some warned students "did not repeat some of these misconceptions in the posttest".
"When the Roundhouse Diagrams formed by the experimental group students who had misconceptions were examined, it was see n that they generally reflected their misconceptions into the visuals they drew."
