This is a quote from 西山英彦. What I don't get is the connection between 具体的なデータ and それを基にどのような分析を行ったのか. There's that や, which would make me think that what's following is a noun, but that's not what follows. Shouldn't the next part be something like それを基にした研究で or それを基にした検証で or whatever? It feels like a few words have gone missing to me. Am I just missing something here?
Ah, OK. I see it now. I guess trying to get the reference of それ and parse it with the rest of the sentence in my head was too much for me to handle. Thanks!
