Findings Waterfall Plots
This report creates waterfall plots to show the distribution of changes in test measurements for a given Findings domain across subjects (ordered by their magnitude of change). The Findings measurements are summarized based on a specified summary statistic and a waterfall plot is created for each Findings test.
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 Waterfall Plots with the Nicardipine sample setting and LB findings domaFindingswin generates the report shown below.
Waterfall Plots
There is one Waterfall Plot for each quantitative findings test (for example, laboratory tests) in the Findings data set that was analyzed. Output data set is a stacked data set of findings measurements at subject level; subject level drill downs available.
Use the filter at left to select the finding plot to view. Each plot shows a summary of the findings test measurements on the Y axis for each subject (on X axis) ordered by that measurement. Caption boxes in the upper right corner of each graph (optional) display a summary statistic across all subjects (in a treatment or BY variable group) to aid in understanding the differences in the center/spread of the group distributions.

Data
Domain
Use this widget to specify whether to plot the distribution of measurements from either the Electrocardiogram (EG), Laboratory (LB), or Vital Signs (VS) findings domains.

Subset of Visits to Analyze
Use the Subset of Visits to Analyze option to select the visits to be included in the analysis.
Plot findings measurements as:
Use this widget to specify whether to plot the results either as observed or how they relate to the baseline measurement. Refer to Plot findings measurements as: for more information.
Summary Statistic for Trial Data
Use the Summary Statistic for Trial Data widgetto specify whether to display the mean, median, maximum, minimum, or last values to summarize the results of the trial period.
Remove unscheduled visits
You might or might not want to include unscheduled visits when you are analyzing findings by visit. Check the Remove unscheduled visits to exclude unscheduled visits.
Calculate baseline as:
Use the Calculate baseline using: widget to use the last recorded pre-dose measurement or the mean of all the measurements taken during the baseline time window as the baseline measurement.
Additional Filters - Findings
This filter lets you restrict your analysis to only those subjects that meet specific criteria at the level of the specified Findings domain (EG, LB, or VS) . See Findings for more information.

Methodology
No testing is performed. Analysis is restricted to calculating simple statistics of findings results.
