or

 Click the Data Mining Results tab.

The Select Criteria page appears.

3.         From the Run name drop-down list, select the two-dimensional MGPS or Logistic Regression 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.

The Choose Graph page appears.

6.         Select a confidence interval graph.

7.         On the Confidence Interval 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.

<score> at least

Display only combinations with a score (EBGM, ERAM, LROR, or ROR) of at least the specified number.

<score> at least

Display only combinations with a lower confidence limit (EB05, ER05, LR05, ROR05) of at least the specified number.

Subset

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

Confidence interval graphs show data for only one subset. To view data for all subsets in a single graph, click View as a Map Graph Showing Discrete Subsets or View as a Map Graph Showing Cumulative Subsets.

8.         Specify the following display options:

 

Display Option

Description

Bar color controlled by:

Check to specify how to control bar color:

  • EBGM, ERAM, LROR, or ROR, as defined by the graph key.

  • EB05, ER05, LR05, or ROR05, as defined by the graph key.

  • A different color for each bar in the graph.

  • A single color for all graph bars.

Order by bar length

Check to show the bars of the graph in descending order based on bar length.

Order by item

Check to show the bars of the graph in alphabetical order.

Show N at end of confidence interval

Display the value of N at the end of each confidence interval bar.

9.         Click Display.

The confidence interval graph appears.

10.      You can point to a bar of the graph to display statistics for the combination represented by the bar.

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.

A.        To display the cases underlying the bar, click View Cases to drill down to a list of cases for the bar.

B.        To create a case series from the cases comprising the bar, click Create Case Series.

C.        To transfer to a different case series, click Case Series.

D.        To download the cases from the bar, click Download Cases.

E.        To download case details of the bar, click Download Case Details.

F.        To run a report about the bar, click Reports.
