In the scientific world, evidence refers to:

The advantage of the effect size for a review of evidence is that it is a standard measure can be applied regardless of the particular tool used to measure the target behavior.

Single studies are only the first level of scientific evidence to consider because:

What is sensitivity analysis?

What is a bias?

What factors do you look for when you review the statistics of studies in the review of literature? Provide a rationale.
