  • A diagram that shows the “prospective” view of the trial (i.e., the view of those participating in the trial). This is similar to the study schema view in that it usually shows a single pool of subjects at the beginning of the trial, with the pool of subjects being split into separate treatment product groups at randomizations and other branches. Such diagrams include the epochs of the trial, and, for each group of subjects and each epoch, the sequence of elements within each epoch for that treatment product group. The arms are also indicated on these diagrams.
  • A diagram that shows the “retrospective” view of the trial (i.e., the view of the analyst reporting on the trial). This style of diagram looks more like a matrix; it is also more like the structure of the TA dataset. The retrospective view is arm-centered and shows, for each study cell (epoch/arm combination) the sequence of elements within that study cell. It can be thought of as showing, for each arm, the elements traversed by a subject who completed that arm as intended.
  • If the trial is blinded, a diagram that shows the trial as it appears to a blinded participant
  • A trial design matrix, an alternative format for representing most of the information in the diagram that shows arms and epochs, and which emphasizes the study cells
  • The TA dataset
