Please, find a data sample p
below. I have produced the following ggsurvplot
:
I would like to remove the encircled "Strata"-text from the legend, that prints automatically. I think it is redundant and disrupt the " graphic balance".
It prints when I run this script:
#Fit the data
fit <- survfit(Surv(p$rfs, p$recurrence) ~ p$test, data=p)
#Plot
j <- ggsurvplot(
fit,
data = p,
risk.table = TRUE,
pval = TRUE,
pval.coord = c(0, 0.25),
conf.int = T,
legend.labs=c("TERTp-wt (all)", "TERT-alt (all)"),
size=0.7,
xlim = c(0,50),
#alpha=c(0.4),
conf.int.alpha=c(0.1),
break.x.by = 6,
xlab="Time in months",
ylab="Probability of recurrence-free survival",
ggtheme = theme,
surv.median.line = "v",
ylim=c(0,1),
tables.theme=theme,
surv.scale="percent",
tables.col="strata",
risk.table.col = "strata",
risk.table.y.text = FALSE,
tables.y.text = FALSE)
j$table <- j$table + labs(x = NULL, y = NULL)
j$plot <- j$plot+annotate("text", x = 14, y = 0.005,
label = "14 (95% CI: 10 - 24)", cex=3.3, vjust=0,
hjust = 1.1, fontface=2)

See also ggsurvplot_arguments. title: main title. xlab, ylab: x and y axis labels, respectively. legend: character specifying legend position. Allowed values are one of c ("top", "bottom", "left", "right", "none"). Default is "top" side position. to remove the legend use legend = "none".
ggsurvplot () is a generic function to plot survival curves. Wrapper around the ggsurvplot_xx () family functions. Plot one or a list of survfit objects as generated by the survfit.formula () and surv_fit functions:
Example 1: Remove All Legends in ggplot2. If we want to remove all legends of our graph, we can use the following R syntax: my_ggplot + theme ( legend.position = "none") # Remove all legends from plot. my_ggplot + theme (legend.position = "none") # Remove all legends from plot.
To avoid the mistake of swapping the legend labels, use this option in the ggsurvplot function instead: legend.labs = levels (df$gender) This is an ideal solution!
All you need to do is to add legend.title=""
to ggsurvplot
:
j <- ggsurvplot(
fit,
data = p,
risk.table = TRUE,
pval = TRUE,
pval.coord = c(0, 0.25),
conf.int = T,
legend.labs=c("TERTp-wt (all)", "TERT-alt (all)"),
size=0.7,
xlim = c(0,50),
#alpha=c(0.4),
conf.int.alpha=c(0.1),
break.x.by = 6,
xlab="Time in months",
ylab="Probability of recurrence-free survival",
ggtheme = theme,
surv.median.line = "v",
ylim=c(0,1),
tables.theme=theme,
surv.scale="percent",
tables.col="strata",
risk.table.col = "strata",
risk.table.y.text = FALSE,
tables.y.text = FALSE,
legend.title="")
