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 i1 Subgroup analysis shows short-duration (<24 weeks) interventions positively impact reading comprehension (SMD = 0.24, 95% CI: 0.03–0.46, p = 0.030; I² = 69%), while longer interventions show no effect (SMD = −0.01, p = 0.870). → He Hongxue 2025

q3 · i1 · quant-synthesis · r3
Subgroup analysis by intervention duration for reading comprehension. The review reports "SMD = 0.24, 95% CI: 0.03–0.46" for interventions <24 weeks, with high heterogeneity (I² = 69%).
"A subgroup analysis based on intervention duration was conducted (Table 2), indicating a positive association between physical activity and reading comprehension achievement when the intervention duration <24 weeks (SMD = 0.24, 95% CI: 0.03–0.46, p = 0.010; I2 = 69%)."

- Interventions lasting one to two months show the largest effect, and effects do not increase consistently with longer duration — related
