Available plots in Owkin K
Owkin K will automatically select the most appropriate visualization type based on your question if you don't specify one, but being explicit about the plot type you want can help ensure you get exactly the visualization you need.
This page provides comprehensive documentation for all plot tools available in the Owkin K. The plots are organized by data modality. Each plot is designed for specific analysis scenarios, from differential expression analysis to spatial colocalization, survival analysis, and treatment timeline visualization.
Plots support various parameters for customization including patient grouping or filtering, and visualization options.
How to Request Visualizations
When requesting visualizations in Owkin K, you can:
Ask for a specific plot type by name (e.g., "Generate a Kaplan-Meier plot...")
Describe what you want to visualize without specifying the plot type (e.g., "Show me the relationship between...")
Request multiple visualizations in a single query (e.g., "Compare survival and gene expression...")

Plot Types
Owkin K offers a variety of specialized visualization types designed for biomedical research. Below is a comprehensive list of available plots that you can request in your queries:
Clinical Outcome Plots
Kaplan-Meier Plot (clinical_endpoint_plot)
Visualizes survival analysis with time-to-event data
Includes log-rank test p-values and hazard ratios
Can be stratified by various factors (mutation status, expression levels, etc.)
Example query: "Generate a Kaplan-Meier plot comparing overall survival between TP53 mutated and wildtype lung cancer patients"

Molecular Data Plots
Heatmap (expression_heatmap)
Displays gene expression patterns across multiple samples
Uses color intensity to represent expression levels
Can include hierarchical clustering of genes and/or samples
Example query: "Create a heatmap of the top 50 most variable genes in breast cancer samples"
Volcano Plot (differential_expression_plot)
Shows statistical significance versus magnitude of change
Highlights differentially expressed genes between conditions
Example query: "Generate a volcano plot comparing gene expression between responders and non-responders"
Box Plot / Violin Plot (expression_plot)
Compares distribution of expression values across groups
Shows median, quartiles, and outliers
Example query: "Create box plots showing EGFR expression across different lung cancer subtypes"

Mutation Oncoprint
Visualizes genetic alterations across patient cohorts
Shows mutation types, frequencies, and co-occurrence patterns
Example query: "Generate an oncoprint showing mutation patterns in key driver genes across colorectal cancer patients"
Relationship Plots
Correlation Plot (correlation_plot)
Displays correlation coefficients between multiple variables
Uses color intensity to represent correlation strength
Example query: "Create a correlation plot for expression of immune checkpoint genes in melanoma"
Scatter Plot (scatter_plot)
Shows relationship between two continuous variables
Can include regression lines and confidence intervals
Example query: "Generate a scatter plot of tumor mutational burden versus immune infiltration score"
Network Diagram
Visualizes interactions between genes, proteins, or other entities
Shows connection patterns and node importance
Example query: "Create a network diagram of protein-protein interactions for the p53 pathway"
Dimensionality Reduction Plot (pca_plot, tsne_plot, umap_plot)
Reduces high-dimensional data to 2D or 3D for visualization
Options include PCA, t-SNE, and UMAP
Example query: "Generate a PCA plot of gene expression data colored by cancer subtype"
Patient Cohort Plots
Clinical Summary Table
Presents demographic and clinical characteristics of patient cohorts
Shows counts and percentages for categorical variables
Displays means, medians, and ranges for continuous variables
Example query: "Create a clinical summary table for breast cancer patients in the TCGA dataset"
Bar Chart (bar_plot)
Compares frequencies or values across categories
Can be grouped or stacked for multi-level comparisons
Example query: "Generate a bar chart showing mutation frequencies in key driver genes across cancer types"
Pie Chart (pie_chart)
Shows proportion of different categories within a whole
Example query: "Create a pie chart of cancer stage distribution in lung adenocarcinoma patients"
Sankey Diagram
Visualizes flows between categories
Useful for showing patient treatment pathways or transitions between states
Example query: "Generate a Sankey diagram showing treatment sequences in metastatic breast cancer patients"
