Systematically extract quantitative effect sizes, study conditions, and precision metrics from included studies.
Identify the specific sections of each paper containing quantitative results.
Tools: dare-scholar (paper_content, paper_reading), alphaxiv (answer_pdf_queries)
For each study, locate the exact data points needed for effect size calculation.
SOPs: effect-size-planning (determine what to extract)
Plan the calculation method for each study based on available data.
SOPs: effect-size-planning
Record all study-level conditions and moderator variables.
SOPs: data-extraction-form
Annotate each extracted effect size with quality indicators.
SOPs: risk-of-bias-assessment
Per execution of this tactic:
extractions:
- study_id: [identifier]
effect_size_type: [SMD/OR/RR/MD/r]
point_estimate: [value or calculation formula]
precision: [SE/CI/variance]
sample_size: [N_treatment, N_control]
conditions: [moderator variables]
quality: [high/medium/low confidence]
notes: [calculation method, assumptions]
