ggpubr vs OpenCTI
A side-by-side editorial comparison of ggpubr and OpenCTI — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
ggpubr vs OpenCTI: at a glance
What is ggpubr?
ggpubr reached 1.0.0 with p-value formatting presets for specific journals
ggpubr adds publication-ready statistics and annotation to ggplot2. Two releases define its capability: 0.5.0 introduced the stat_*_test family and geom_pwc() for pairwise comparison brackets, and 1.0.0 added p-value formatting presets matching named journal house styles. In between, most releases are ggplot2 and dplyr deprecation chasing.
What is OpenCTI?
OpenCTI spends a release unblocking queues and hardening upserts
7.260817.0 is a fix release. The most consequential item is malformed STIX messages nacking forever and blocking worker queues indefinitely — a stall in the ingestion path rather than a display bug. Alongside it: upsert clearing an existing createdBy when incoming confidence is higher, draft upserts crashing on existing attack patterns, OTP handling in the stream middleware, and case template relation authorization. Score fields were added to threat actor groups, intrusion sets and malware.

ggpubr reached 1.0.0 with p-value formatting presets for specific journals
◆ Current state
ggpubr adds publication-ready statistics and annotation to ggplot2. Two releases define its capability: 0.5.0 introduced the stat_*_test family and geom_pwc() for pairwise comparison brackets, and 1.0.0 added p-value formatting presets matching named journal house styles. In between, most releases are ggplot2 and dplyr deprecation chasing.
◆ Where it's heading
The package is moving from drawing statistics to matching the conventions of where they get published - style presets are a different kind of feature from a new test. That sits on a persistent maintenance load: after_stat migrations, linewidth parameters, R-devel changing how the Wilcoxon test handles ties. ggpubr absorbs upstream deprecations so that figure code written years ago keeps rendering.
◆ Prediction
Expect the preset list to grow as users request their own journals' conventions, and the deprecation-chasing to continue with each ggplot2 release; the statistical test coverage looks complete enough that additions there would be surprising.

OpenCTI spends a release unblocking queues and hardening upserts
◆ Current state
7.260817.0 is a fix release. The most consequential item is malformed STIX messages nacking forever and blocking worker queues indefinitely — a stall in the ingestion path rather than a display bug. Alongside it: upsert clearing an existing createdBy when incoming confidence is higher, draft upserts crashing on existing attack patterns, OTP handling in the stream middleware, and case template relation authorization. Score fields were added to threat actor groups, intrusion sets and malware.
◆ Where it's heading
The platform's feature energy went into the connector catalog and integrations rework in July, and the releases since have been consolidating: mass operations on relation times, shareable saved searches, and now a pass over ingestion robustness. Adding score to more entity types continues the slow enrichment of the data model that runs underneath the feature work.
◆ Prediction
Given score arriving on three entity types in one release, expect it to keep spreading across the data model, and the queue-blocking class of bug to draw more worker-side hardening.
