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.

Quasi-experiment with 20 web-based and 20 traditional-group elementary learners in a language institute, compared on gained scores after six months. The t-test on reading showed "a significant difference" favoring the web-based group, t(38)=4.39.
"The result of the t-test indicates that there is a significant difference (M web-based =28.20, M traditional =17.90) between students in web-based group and in traditional group (t(df=38)=4.39; p.05)."
