The results of quantitative (A/B and multivariate) testing and qualitative (user research and prototype) testing show that these changes make it easier to read and learn, navigate within the page, search, switch between languages, user page and user tools, and more, without negative effects to pageviews, account creation, or edit rates.

This has been extensively discussed at the Village Pump, and I remain unconvinced that the WMF is testing for the right things to actually show this. For example, with the sticky header, they only test that the sticky header is used, rather than testing whether it makes it easier to navigate within the page.
