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 i2 In both RCTs teachers reported significantly stronger relationships with parents on the PTRS-II (effect sizes +0.47 and +0.46); only the rural trial has an entry on this page, so the first trial's +0.47 is unsourced on this page. → Teachers and Parents as Partners (TAPP) Family Engagement evidence summary 2012
q3 i2 In the second rural trial, parents in the TAPP group also reported significantly stronger relationships with teachers (effect size = +0.51). → Teachers and Parents as Partners (TAPP) Family Engagement evidence summary 2012

q3 · i2 · causal · r?
Second randomized controlled trial in 45 rural schools (267 K–3 students, 152 teachers). Both teacher and parent PTRS-II ratings favored TAPP, with the page reporting "significantly stronger relationships" on both sides (ES +0.46 and +0.51).
"On the PTRS-II, teachers again reported significantly stronger relationships with parents (effect size = +0.46), and parents in the TAPP group also reported significantly stronger relationships with teachers (effect size = +0.51)."
