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.
q2 i? The review identifies a research gap: although substitute teachers are a ubiquitous component of the teaching workforce, little is known about their work conditions, motivations, experiences, and support. → Reupert 2023

Reupert, A; Sullivan, A; Tippett, N; White, S; Woodcock, S; Chen, L; Simons, M. (2023). An Exploration of the Experiences of Substitute Teachers: A Systematic Review. Review of Educational Research. https://doi.org/10.3102/00346543221149418
q2 · i? · review · r?
The review's motivating statement, from its abstract, establishes the gap its synthesis addresses: substitute teachers are "a ubiquitous component of the teaching workforce" yet "little is known" about their conditions, motivations, experiences, and support. This is the review's own assessment of the literature, not a measured result.
"Although a ubiquitous component of the teaching workforce, little is known about their work conditions, motivations, experiences, and support."
