Dashboards · Sapling SAP

The dashboard is where a reviewer reads the study. Every table is drawn from its results, and each number opens a trace.

The overview page of the dashboard of the made-up study SYNHTN01 with 100 subjects, 759 results, a draft banner and a made-up data banner. — The overview of the dashboard for the made-up study SYNHTN01.

Two dashboards#

With R: sapling dashboard starts the dashboard of the R engine (an app on a free port) after the tables are made.
With SAS: sapling sas dashboard makes a folder of plain HTML and JavaScript from the products of a SAS run: no R, no server, no network. It opens by double click on index.html. A team that runs only SAS has the same pages.

Each has a gate: sapling dashboard --check and sapling sas dashboard --check rebuild the dashboard and check its numbers against the results. A number that differs by one character makes the gate fail.

What is on the pages#

Overview: the study, the numbers, the engine, the verdicts of the run, and a banner that says the plan is a draft until a person approves it. For dummy data, a banner says the data are made up.
Protocol and plan: each endpoint of the protocol, the SAP's decision for it and the outputs that answer it. A gap is shown as a gap.
Outputs: every table, listing and figure. A number in a cell opens the trace: result, analysis, method, population, records, grouping, ADaM variables with their derivations, the SAP block with its sentence, and the protocol sentence.
AE explorer, subjects, insights, Kaplan-Meier, labs: browsing pages for the subject-level data. Insights are fixed rules, labelled exploratory, with no AI.
Audit trail: a chained ledger of what was read and made, with hashes. The page recomputes the chain in the browser.

The Outputs page of the dashboard listing the twelve tables with the count of numbers in each. — The outputs of the made-up study, each with its count of numbers.

The data cut and the subgroups apply to the subject-level pages only. The tables are the results of all the data and are never recomputed in the browser. The SAS dashboard does not recompute tables on a data cut or compare them against independent programs; the R dashboard does. The page The SAS dashboard lists the differences.

Privacy#

The SAS dashboard folder contains subject-level data from the transport files that the table programs read. Handle it like the ADaM data. sapling sas dashboard --no-subjects builds one without them.
