  1. In the left navigation pane, hover on the Data Analysis icon (Data Analysis icon), then click Data Mining Runs.
  2. Perform one of the following:
    • Click the Row Action menu (Row Action menu icon) for the run, and then click View Results.
    • Hover on the Data Analysis icon (Data Analysis icon), in the left navigation pane then click Data Mining Results.
    The Select Criteria page appears.
  3. From the Run name drop-down list, select the three-dimensional run you want to view. (Your user preference, Default Run, determines which run, if any, is selected by default.) You can also click Browse next to the Run name field to find and select a run.
  4. Type at least one drug or event.
  5. Click Choose Graph.
  6. Select an overlap graph.
  7. On the Overlap Graph page, specify restrictions, which will be applied in addition to any restrictions that you specified on the Select Criteria page.
    Restriction Description

    N at least

    Display only combinations with an observed count (N) of at least the specified number.

    At most ____ associations

    Display no more than the specified number of combinations. You can display up to 200 combinations. If combinations are excluded because of this limit, a message appears below the graph.

    Subset

    Available only if you selected All on the Select Criteria page. The available subsets are all those selected during run creation.

  8. Specify the following display options:
    Display Option Description

    Show value of

    Select N or EBGM/INTSS as the statistic to show in cells. You can also leave cells blank.

    For 3D run results, the EBGM score applies to the two-way combinations, which appear in the cells in the left column. The INTSS score applies to the three-way combinations, which appear in the remainder of the graph (in the right column).

    Note:

    If the data mining run results do not include items of the same type (an option during run creation), statistics do not appear for items of the same type (such as a drug+drug or event+event combinations.

    Color by

    Check to specify how to color graph cells:

    • EBGM/INTSS
    • No color
  9. Click Display.
    The overlap graph appears.
  10. You can point to a cell of the graph to display statistics for the combination represented by the cell. Long drug or event terms may end in an ellipsis in the label on the graph itself; in this case, you can point to the cell to see the full terms.
  11. Click a bar in the graph to display a menu. If you are displaying multiple graphs on the same page, do not click any graph until all the graphs appear.
    1. To display the cases underlying the bar, click View Cases to drill down to a list of cases for the bar.
    2. To create a case series from the cases comprising the bar, click Create Case Series.
    3. To transfer to a different case series, click Transfer to Case Series.
    4. To download the cases from the bar, click Download Cases.
    5. To download case details of the bar, click Download Case Details.
    6. To run a report about the bar, click Reports.
    7. To save the graph as an attachment to a topic, click Save to Topic. (This option is available if Links is checked and the topics feature has been set up.) The graph is attached in a PDF file.
