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? Learning gain measured with a pre-test/post-test mechanism did not show any significant difference compared to that of a control group. → Cuendet 2015
