With each additional subgroup comparison, the likelihood of a false-positive result increases. For example, testing five independent subgroups yields a 23% chance of observing at least one <em>p</em> value <0.05 by chance alone, which rises to 40% with ten independent subgroups (Fig. 1A). Moreover, the probability of seeing a reversal of a treatment effect in at least one subgroup is surprisingly</section></section></section><section><section><h2>Levels of evidence and the role of meta-analysis</h2>The credibility of a subgroup claim depends on the study design and context. Prespecified analyses with adequate power, significant interaction tests, and a biological rationale carry more weight than post hoc findings (Fig. 2A). In the CHAARTED trial, a prespecified subgroup analysis showed that men with high-disease volume metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) had longer OS with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) + docetaxel than with ADT alone (hazard ratio 0.60, 95%</section></section><section><section><h2>Traditional versus data-driven subgroup definitions</h2>Subgroup definitions have traditionally relied on clinical judgment and biological rationale, such as classification of patients by tumor stage, biomarker expression, or prior treatments.

Unless such analyses are prespecified at the design stage, any findings should be considered exploratory and confirmed in future trials (Fig. 2B).
