View a cumulative map graph

  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 two-dimensional MGPS runs with cumulative subsets run that 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 a cumulative map graph.
  7. On the Map Graph (Cumulative) 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.

    EBGM at least ____

    Display only combinations with an EBGM score of at least the specified number.

    EB05 at least ____

    Display only combinations with an EB05 value 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.

  8. Specify the following display options:
    Display Option Description

    Show value of

    In each cell of the grid, display the numeric value of N (observed), EBGM, or EB05. You can also select Leave blank to display a grid without labels. Cells with no occurrences are empty.

    Color by

    Check to specify how to color graph cells:

    • EBGM, according to the graph cutpoints and palette.
    • EB05, according to the graph cutpoints and palette.
    • No color.

    Order by first occurrence of

    Indicates how to order drug-event combinations in the graph, based on descending order of N, EBGM, or EB05 values. The application applies this ordering to combinations for the first subset. If the maximum number of combinations is not reached, the application applies the ordering to combinations for the second subset, and so on, until the maximum number of combinations is reached. (The maximum number of combinations is determined by the At most __ associations option.)

    For example, the graph shows values of EBGM and has at most six combinations. You order by the first occurrence of EBGM > 2. The combinations in descending order of EBGM are illustrated in the table that follows this table.

    Application orders combinations in descending order of EBGM

  9. Click Display.
  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.
