Computes standardized mean differences (`d`) and sampling variances (`v`) for
`papers/buckwalterschaffer2015knowledgestakesmistakes/buckwalterschaffer2015knowledgestakesmistakes.yaml`.
All effects below use the analyst-authorized equal-cell assumption. For
Studies 2-7, this is an equal split within each reported two-condition stakes
contrast. For Study 1, the paper reports a 2x2 design with `N = 186`, so equal
allocation across the four cells implies an approximate cell size of `46.5`.
