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? Construct validity assessment showed a statistically significant proficiency increase among the junior group compared to the senior group across all modalities. → Chawla Shreya 2022
q2 i? In one VR tumour-resection study, medical students differed significantly from junior and senior residents, but there was no significant difference between junior and senior residents. → Chawla Shreya 2022 (2)

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r1
The review's synthesis of the six studies assessing construct validity reports that "the junior group compared to the senior group" showed a statistically significant proficiency increase across all modalities; no effect size is printed.
"Construct validity showed a statistically significant proficiency increase among the junior group compared to the senior group across all modalities."

q2 · i? · review · r3
Sub-group analysis of Gelinas-Phaneuf et al.'s VR tumour-resection simulator: "a significant difference between medical students as compared to junior and senior residents (p < 0.05)" but none between junior and senior residents; equivalence was not tested.
"construct validity revealed a significant difference between medical students as compared to junior and senior residents (p < 0.05) but no difference between junior and senior residents [25]."
