Findings Box Plots

This report displays the box plots by treatment group representing the change from baseline in measurements for each test for specified findings domain across various times or points in the study. Times can be specified using a list of bracketed times or, alternatively, a number of times can be set to create times that span across the entire study.

If the variable xxBLCHG (where xx is substituted with the chosen domain 2 letter code) exists, this variable is used in plotting change from baseline. Otherwise, a measurement is determined to be a baseline measurement by the ABLFL or xxBLFL variable where xx is substituted with the 2-letter code for the chosen domain for analysis. If this variable does not exist, baseline is calculated from measurements taken on or before day 1 of the study. A time can be specified to determine baseline measurements.

Note: JMP Clinical uses a special protocol for data including non-unique Findings test names. Refer to How does JMP Clinical handle non-unique Findings test names? for more information.

Report Results Description

Running Findings Box Plots for Nicardipine using default settings generates the report shown below. Output from the report is organized into sections. Each section contains one or more plots, data panels, data filters, or other elements that facilitate your analysis.

LB Box Plots

Presents a Box Plot displaying values chosen in the Plot findings measurements as: option. The name of this section varies based on the domain chosen.

Note: The name of this section and the findings results (LB, VS, or EG) displayed depend on the domain selected using the Domain option.

It contains one or more set of Box Plots with a box for each treatment.

Each box plot set represents an xxTESTCD from the selected domain. For example, in the graph above, the first figure represents the change from baseline for APTT (Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time) at each visit for both treatment arms. The table presents the associated statistics.

Note: The value given for N in the Summary Statistics table represents the number of records at each visit, not total number of subjects.

Use the drop down menu to the left of the plots to select the findings test results to display

Note: You may notice a difference in baseline vital signs results between JMP Clinical v8.1 and v18.1. This can happen when the baseline calculation is for the mean of recorded predose measurements for findings that have "Y" as a value for VSBLF if some of those rows are missing a value for VSDY. v8.1 computes the mean for all rows that have a value of "Y" as a value for VSBLF, regardless of the value of VSDY. v18.1 ignores any rows lacking a value for VSDy and computes baseline means using just the rows that both have a value of "Y" as a value for VSBLF, and some value for VSDY.
