Why?

Strongest counted support: The pooled results directly report a 0.321 standard-deviation gain for combined phone and SMS tutoring across five countries. weight 2.000000 evidence

Suppressed as dependent: The primary Nature study reports a pooled 0.321 standard-deviation increase in average numerical-operation performance across five countries.; The excerpt directly reports a 0.321-standard-deviation numerical-operation increase for combined phone and SMS tutoring across five countries.

Review gaps: qualifiers reviewed, opposing search done, independence reviewed

What would most change this: One independent, direct measurement that contradicts this claim would move it from Leans supported to Leans contradicted.

Inferences

Concluded from

None.

Used as a premise in

None.

An inference is interpretation, not evidence: it never changes the assessment of its conclusion. Each premise is a claim with its own evidence.

Threads

None. Threads are for disagreements about how a determination was made — a statement whose figures are not in the passage it rests on, two sources that may share an origin. Something about the world belongs in the evidence above.
