INTRODUCTION
Critical research analysis also covers a critical disclosure about studiers and theories. It is
an approach to research that investigates the relationship between language and power by
conducting or examining how everyday texts create and reinforce social inequality and
hierarchy. Critical analysis is a careful examination and evaluation of a text, image or other work
or performance. Performing a critical analysis it does not necessary include finding fault with a
work. If just research there are some major points that have consider vary careful and it is
essential, first of all choose a thesis statement, write executive summary and introductory
paragraph craft clear topic sentences, carefully organise the main body of research, use relevant
data, populate essay with evidence, after covering overall content cross check and summarize
analysis in a concluding paragraph and revise as necessary. This report revolves around if some
one is doing research so, how its possible to know the quality of research, relevant data and
various other things such as aims and objectives, grammatical mistakes. It use methodology is
explicit concerned with the choices about linking theories and research methods in any given
research context.
MAIN BODY
Critically review the appropriate Critical Appraisals Skills Program (CASP) tool
There is a tool CASP which is known as critical appraisal skills , it aims to assist
individuals develop skills to find and make sense of research evidence helping them to apply
evidence in practice. The critical appraisals skills programs develop to teach people how to
critically appraise various types of evidence. It is also known as generic tool for appraising the
strength and limitation of any qualitative research methodology. In the prospective of qualitative
and quantitative research can be appraised through using CASP tool each guidelines has various
questions in which validity, relevance and results of appraised research have been covered
(Capano and Woo, 2017). The main purpose of this tool to analyse the appropriate data and
information which is mandatory, on the other side, research provide the idea, to examine the
conclusion, for instance, if business man looking forward to open business in market place, first
of all it has to do research and analyse what is the requirement and demand of consumer as well
as market. After that they have to make proper aims and objectives that give excellent outcome
1

with the help of research. So it will easy to researcher to find the consequences, requirements and
necessaries.
This tools use to analyse the strength & weaknesses through useful consideration of the research
process that mainly performed effectively. It is essential to determine the research process and
also use the specific sources that can help to maintain the requirement of the research. Research
is basically based on the quantitative and quantitative research that can help to maintain the
requirement of the research. All the useful consideration which are mainly classified and based
on the qualitative research. This tool mainly used to ensure the certain presentation related to the
research that is helpful for the findings. CASP mainly undertake the appraisal that mainly offer
the prominent way that consider the effective dedication for the study that is cohort by nature.
Therefore, diagnostic studies mainly tend to evaluate the various economic changes & use
specific checklist that discussed below (Chun Tie, Birks and Mills, 2018).
As per this the suitable analysis of the first checklist is mainly analysed by the systematic review
that is basically emphasis the questions with the suitable examples. This report analyse the
critical recognisance through dual anti-platelet therapy before the specific bypass grafting. On
the basis of this topic, it mainly focus on the generating effective report & also use specific
questions that mainly concerned with the interventions. This report mainly highlight the various
questions in an appropriate manner that is very effective in order to get most possible outcome
through the assessment of the upcoming references. Through useful consideration of this topic ,
that is based on the certain loops that mainly useful to analyse the specific information that is
very relevant for the development of the project. After evaluating the various research paper, it is
defined that there are many researcher who contain their own ideas & point of view related to the
study. Moreover, as per the development of the report, proper defining the topic and evidence are
required (Cox and Tam, 2018). This topic provide the clear understanding about the suitable
topic. As per the current time, critical analysis is based on the vision that help to develop and
collect the data that is useful for the report writing. This study based on the essay that is evolved
on assay that is also termed as DAPT assay with the aspirin & clopidogrel before the CABG take
appropriate entry. It show the requirement in order to the development of meta-analysis and its
selection of the keyword with the help of references that mainly show the evidence that is based
on the data forming & use article that is related to the journals. Journals are mainly collected by
the Medline, Embase and Scopus and data is provided in the appendix in the systematic report,
2

when an individual try to seek from the journals it would be the simple to get outcome through
keyword like Medline.
Apart from this, another checklist is also useful in term of cover the data that is very appropriate
in nature. This report is based on the essential topic like coronary artery bypass, clopodogrel and
acute coronary syndrome and anti-platelet therapy. This report cover the data from the
bibliographic unit it is mainly term to check the accuracy of the report. Meta-analysis approach is
used and also categorised in to three parts such as systematic search that is used in the electronic
database. Fro electronic database, researcher used google and search on web pages for further
study and maintain effective screening that is mainly based on the bibliography. Furthermore,
when all the things are passing by the another checklist, then it measure the qualitative factors
(Deylami and et. al., 2018). The detail analysis of this study is completed which is mainly
reviewed through quality report. By presenting the detail statement are being gathered from the
EndNote software that is mainly imitated by the eliminating the artificial Xerox investigation
details and the data as per the to improve the quality of the research. As per the CASP tools, all
the measurement effectively to know the certain factors that is useful to gain the better
understanding about the topic. New checklist use specific knowledge which can help to examine
the no duplication of the study which is essential for the research process. It is also analysed by
the EndNote software that is used in the research. As per the to understand the quality of the
report the real studies mainly undertake almost 8029 patients. In this study, qualitative measure
is used that is depend upon the specific objectives. As per the discussion of this report, DAPT
measured before the CABG and also know the patience with the ACS that mainly lead to renal
failure as there are some cardiac events involve hypertension that is concerned with the mortality
rate that summarise the DAPT that mainly connected. The outcome is contain in a precise way
after the specific screening of report that mainly undertake the 41 articles with the collection of
data that is concerned to the 15 studies that convened with the meta-analysis. Apart from this,
other checklist undertake the aims of the used in the research. The checklist is beneficial to frame
the outcome of the research. CASP tools are helpful to maintain the quality of the research
(Killeen and et. al., 2018).
On the basis of this study, there are some checklist discussed to maintain the specific
execution in an effective way that provide the appropriate benefits that maintain the research
3

origin and help to eliminate the problem. Topic is based on the suitable suitable reviewing & also
identify the appropriate way to maintain the research process. This report analyse the suitable
and effective outcome that is useful to acknowledging the specific tools and techniques. This
report highlight the some outcome and undertake the mortality rate, MI and CVA & another
diseases such as renal failure and re-exploration. At the end of this research, it is necessary to
analyse the meta-analysis so that researcher can used in the modern time. It can help to analyse
various things used by the individual that can help to deal with the various medical issues that
occur due to inadequate quality and unnecessary recognisance. On the basis of the meta-analysis,
it offer specific justification in term of medication by the systematic review of the meta-analysis.
Argue & Justify whether the methodology & methods are appropriate to address the research
problem
Research methodology can consider as the ongoing process that can help to identify the
specific facts related to any areas and topic. Research methodology is a continuous method that
can help to analyse the overall the specific process. With the help of research methodology,
researcher can analysed and find out the appropriate outcome. There are mainly two kind of
research used which are discussed below-
Primary Research
It is most essential research and also know as the first handed research that use original
data. It contain the direct intersection among the organisation and their customers in which they
mainly demand the suitable value of the outcome (Kujala, 2018). This type of research is done
with the help of specific market research and determine the pure data and information. There are
various methods and techniques to use primary research which are given below- Interviews – It mainly concerned about the face to face interaction to the people so that
they can easily share the appropriate information. Research can take many people can
analyse their point of view so that they can collect the appropriate data. It also consider
the appropriate source of economic that mainly lead to observe the overall condition to
enhance the productivity and effectiveness of the organisation. It also represent the
wastage of the resources that is neglected by the researcher in order to remove the
wastage. Survey – As per the current time, most of the survey is done via online method through
specific link and browsing. Survey can be done in both for online and offline. It can help
4

to cover the whole dimensions of the research and maintain the value of the products and
their services.
 Questionnaire – This is also considered the most appropriate methods to collect the
primary data. Most of the researcher used this methods and maintain various type of
questions like open ended questions and close ended questions.
As per this report, it is analysed that researcher undertake the certain steps that mainly concerned
with the various research tools and techniques that can help to extract the data from the common
people. Moreover, this report maintain the quality by EndNote software that is reviewed by
duplication of the data and information extracted by the report (MacLean and et. al., 2017).
Secondary Research
This is also considered the most effective research type that usually contain the second
handed data that already collected by another person. This research help to generate the in-depth
knowledge about the specific topic and areas so that researcher can use this knowledge in their
study. It is undertake the inclusion of the research that analysed various resources to gather the
information. Secondary data can be collected by the websites, journals, articles and newspapers.
Meta-analysis effectively collaborate with the useful approaches with the many
researcher in both form primary & secondary. Both data collection methods can help to obtain
the specific information related to the topic through various research paper and data articles
(Ortigueira and Machado, 2018).
Discuss & justify the strengths & weaknesses using the relevant supporting evidence
It is essential to analyse the strengths and weakness of the specific facts that can help to
maintain the specific knowledge and facts about the topic and matter (Remling, 2018).Meta-
analysis mainly leads to utilise in both type of the research methodology. The description of
strengths and weaknesses are discussed below-
Primary Research
Strengths Weaknesses
 As per the primary research,
researcher can effectively use meta-
analysis in an appropriate way that
 It is also analysed that primary
research only consider the first handed
data so it is very time consuming and
5

mainly lead to create in direct contact
with the certain people by provide
them specific source of data and
information (Rose and Patel, 2018).
 The another strength also considered
that researcher mainly linked with
various tools & technologies in term
to ext rate the information that is
relevant for the study.
expensive.
 The another weakness is mainly
linked with suitable kind of the
research that undertake high cost in
development of report and its data is
quite flexible in nature (Scholten,
Collett, and Petrovic, 2017).
Secondary Research
Strengths Weaknesses
 This approach is beneficial in
measured at cost less accumulated and
time savings because it appears to
ignore human engagement and
eliminates problems of discussing
issues with active people.
 When conducting published studies or
meta-analyses, it saves so much time
by using vital resources.
 The study provides information on
appropriate tools that provide viewers
with a better viewing experience.
 Data is collected based on prior
knowledge, in which researchers have
a tendency to gather data that does not
exist.
 It portrays the mistake that occurs as a
result of knowledge replication, which
lowers the general validity of the study
and analysis (Schönberger, 2019).
 The analysis is well-organized, using
both secondary information of
information. It is valuable for both the
acquisition of information that occurs
at a heavy price, as shown in this.

CONCLUSION
It is inferred from the above report about findings such as research tool is very important
in critical research because it examine the appropriate data, and important thing is that is covers
the public review that helps to analyse what will run in the market place. It can be concluded
aims and objectives and covers the over all analysation that assist to give best outcome. The
main purpose of critical research analytics is to increase society by advancing knowledge by the
development of scientific theories, concepts and ideas. That covers the most influential and
common purpose of research are exploration, description and explanation.
