You are asked to evaluate the reporting quality of the supplied article against all 11 questions plus the appraisal summary from the CASP Randomised Controlled Trials Checklist, link on vUWS. For each of the 11 CASP questions represented as numbered sections in the assignment template, select one of the ”Yes” or ”No” or ”Can’t tell” from the drop-down list. Then, for each question add a typed prose justification of your multiple-choice answer, evaluating the reporting quality of the article by clearly answering the CASP question and addressing the CASP points to consider included with the question. After answering all 11 CASP questions, complete the ”Appraisal Summary” section of the assignment template, again taking into account key points for this section in the CASP and additional advice provided in class and on vUWS to assist your appraisal. Avoid expending words on evidence evaluation not raised in the CASP questions. No additional research is needed, and no citations or references beyond the supplied article and the CASP Randomised Controlled Trials Checklist are expected
