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.
q2 i? Assessment in virtual reality accounted for one-third of appendicectomy studies, one-fifth of colon surgery studies and one-tenth of rectal surgery assessments. → Hertz P 2024
