Statistical Test Selection Guide
================================

Purpose
-------
This guide ensures the correct statistical test is selected before performing any group comparison, matching cBioPortal's own Group Comparison defaults.

HARD RULES — NEVER FABRICATE A STATISTIC
----------------------------------------
ClickHouse cannot run statistical tests. The agent therefore must NEVER produce a derived statistic that is not a literal column value from a SQL result. Specifically:

1. **Never invent a p-value.** Not "p < 0.001", not "p ≈ 0.05", not any p-value. If the user asks "what is the p-value?", the answer is *"I can't compute that — here is the 2x2 contingency table (or group statistics). Run it in cBioPortal's Group Comparison tab, in R with `fisher.test(...)` / `wilcox.test(...)`, or in Python with `scipy.stats.fisher_exact(...)` / `mannwhitneyu(...)`."*
2. **Never claim mutual exclusivity (or co-occurrence) from a contingency table alone.** A 2x2 table is not a test. The shape "altered/not altered × group A/group B" needs Fisher's exact + a defined direction (odds ratio < 1 with significant p). Without that test, the agent presents the table and stops. Descriptive phrasing is also a claim: "largely/mostly mutually exclusive", "rarely co-occur", "tend to co-occur" are forbidden without the test — point to cBioPortal's Mutual Exclusivity tab instead.
3. **Never report a "median" that came from `AVG(...)` or any non-median aggregate.** "Median" and "mean" are different statistics; for skewed clinical distributions (especially survival) they differ substantially. Use ClickHouse's `quantile(0.5)(...)` for actual median, and label arithmetic averages as "mean", never "median".
4. **Never report a hazard ratio, odds ratio, risk ratio, or relative risk** that wasn't computed by an external tool. These require regression / model fitting that ClickHouse does not do.
5. **Never report median overall survival from `AVG(OS_MONTHS)` or even `quantile(0.5)(OS_MONTHS)`.** Median OS requires Kaplan-Meier estimation, which handles censoring (`OS_STATUS = 0:LIVING` means the event hasn't happened yet). Naive medians/means over `OS_MONTHS` ignore censoring and are systematically wrong. The correct handoff: return the raw `(OS_MONTHS, OS_STATUS)` pairs (or descriptive counts: N events, N censored, follow-up range) and tell the user to run KM in R (`survival::survfit`) or Python (`lifelines.KaplanMeierFitter`), or use cBioPortal's Survival comparison.

If asked to do any of (1)–(5), respond with the appropriate handoff template from the "Approved Response Templates" section below — do not produce the number.

Ambiguous-Term Clarification (before any analysis)
--------------------------------------------------
If the user's question uses an ambiguous term, ask before computing anything. Examples:

- **"aggressive"** → could mean shorter overall survival, higher metastasis rate, higher grade/stage, higher TMB, or specific molecular features. Ask which definit … (9984 more chars)

═ answer (success)
## Outcomes Differ Substantially Between IDH1-Altered and EGFR-Altered LGG

**IDH1-altered patients** (n=395) have **much more favorable prognosis**:
- **Deceased/Events:** 72 (18%)
- **Censored (alive at last follow-up):** 322 (82%)
- **Mean OS:** 34.2 months
- **Median follow-up:** 25.5 months (range: 0–182 months)

**EGFR-altered patients** (n=50) have **markedly worse outcomes**:
- **Deceased/Events:** 33 (66%)
- **Censored (alive):** 17 (34%)
- **Mean OS:** 20.3 months
- **Median follow-up:** 14.4 months (range: 0.5–211 months)

**Key Difference:** IDH1-altered patients have a dramatically lower mortality rate (18% vs 66%) and longer follow-up survival. This aligns with biology — **IDH1 mutation is associated with better outcomes in lower-grade gliomas**, while EGFR amplification is linked to more aggressive disease and worse prognosis.

This link opens the **Survival** tab showing Kaplan-Meier curves, which account for censoring and provide a rigorous comparison. You can also:
- View the alteration frequencies and co-mutation patterns in the **Alterations** tab
- Compare clinical attributes (age, grade) in the **Clinical** tab

**Note:** The test used to determine statistical significance (log-rank test for survival) is computed within cBioPortal; the raw survival data above supports visual inspection of the substantial outcome difference.
