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 i? In the randomized study, confidence in applying physical examination skills was significantly higher in the simulation group than the control group at the first post-test (t(67) = -42.95, p < 0.001). → Andrade Italo Rigoberto Cavalcante; de Queiroz Johny Carlos; Farias Maria Sinara; Maia Nicole Paulo da Silva; da Silva Lúcia de Fátima 2025

q3 · i? · review · r3
Randomized clinical trial with 84 nursing students (42 per group) reported in the review's Chart 4 and results section; the simulation group's first post-test confidence was significantly higher than the control group's, with the printed means and t-test statistic quoted here. No standardized effect size is printed.
"An independent t-test revealed a statistically significant difference (t(67) = -42.95, p < 0.001) in terms of confidence in applying physical examination skills in the first post-test, following the intervention, between the experimental group (mean = 24.00, Standard Deviation (SD) = 1.89) and the control group (mean = 8.02, SD = 1.43)."
