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? Mann Whitney U test showed significantly higher post-test scores for the experimental group (rank average 22.94) than the control group (rank average 15.65), U = 103, p = 0.038. → Taş 2015

q2 · i? · causal · r1
Mann Whitney U test on three-stage post-test scores of experimental (N=17) and control (N=20) groups. The article reports ""U" value was found to be 103 while "p" value was found to be 0.038 (p < 0.05)" with rank averages of 22.94 (experimental) versus 15.65 (control).
"As can be seen from Table 4, "U" value was found to be 103 while "p" value was found to be 0.038 (p < 0.05)."
