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.
q4 i? Effect sizes were stronger for studies using self-report measures of self-control compared to studies using observation/tasks or other-informant measures. → Li 2021

q4 · i? · quant-synthesis · r?
Moderator analysis comparing self-control measurement methods across the 68 included studies. Self-report assessments yielded stronger associations than "observation/tasks or other-informant measures"; no moderator effect size is printed.
"The effect sizes were stronger for the studies using self-report measures to assess self-control (compared to studies using observation/tasks or other-informant measures)"
