Alteration of ascending colon mucosal microbiota in patients after cholecystectomy

Figure 4 Differences in microbiome composition between the test and control groups. A: The test group showed a significantly higher abundance of Bacteroidetes at the phylum level, determined by a Wilcoxon rank-sum test; B: Differences in the microbiota at the genus level between the groups, determined by a Wilcoxon rank-sum test; C: Microbiota variances at the genus level, assessed by linear discriminatory analysis effect size; D: Analysis of microbiome heatmap through a random forest model. LDA: Linear discriminatory analysis.
