Gut microbiota dysbiosis in Chinese children with type 1 diabetes mellitus: An observational study

Figure 5 Correlation strengths of the abundant fecal microbiota in Chinese children with type 1 diabetes mellitus and healthy controls. Correlation network of the abundant fecal microbiota in healthy controls and children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is shown. Correlation coefficients were calculated with the sparse correlation for compositional data algorithm. The Cytoscape version 3.4.0 software was used for network construction. Red and blue lines represent positive and negative correlations, respectively. The correlation network became simpler in T1DM. DM1: Type 1 diabetes mellitus.
