Review summary statistics

The Summary Statistics dashboard shows the statistical charts and visual representation for all the studies of a specific sponsor giving the opportunity to assess various aspects of their investigational processes.

In CTMS, you can analyze your studies' division by therapeutic areas, investigational products, world presence, and more. This helps you build a general picture of the business, outlining your main course of activities and identifying opportunities for improvement.

The summary statistics charts are represented by pie charts and bar charts. Pie charts show the proportions of a whole with each slice representing a category’s contribution to the total. Bar charts compare different categories or groups with each bar representing a category’s value. These charts are best for detecting trends or comparing multiple categories.

To review the summary statistics
  1. In the CTMS application header, select the DASHBOARD tab.

  2. On the page that opens, select the Study Insights tab.

  3. From the Category dropdown menu, select the Summary Statistics category of reports.
