Charting of teaching-approach reporting across the review's 134-paper corpus. The review reports the counts directly and argues this missing detail is "vitally important for effective approaches to be adopted and used, replicated, and further tested". No effect size printed.

"Of the 134 papers, 38 provided information about the program approach and 30 were unclear about the approach used. Sixty-six studies did not include any information about the approach used."
