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? An independent samples t-test found no statistically significant difference in mean GEARS scores between XR-trained (n = 44) and dry lab-trained (n = 37) groups (d = -0.093, p = 0.34). → Bickford Michael 2025

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3
Independent samples t-test comparing mean GEARS scores between XR-trained (n = 44) and dry lab-trained (n = 37) groups. The effect size was "inconclusive" at -0.093 with a 95% CI of [-0.530, 0.345].
"The independent samples t test yielded an inconclusive effect size of −0.093. This effect size rests in a 95% confidence interval of −0.530 to 0.345."
