Fecal microbiota transplantation in patients with metabolic syndrome and obesity: A randomized controlled trial

Figure 1 Relative abundance of taxa. A and B: Show the relative abundance of phyla and of the top 15 genera, respectively, in all samples at baseline, as well as in the placebo and fecal microbiota transplantation groups at 6 wk and 1 year after the procedures. FMT: Fecal microbiota transplantation.

Figure 2 Alpha diversity indices, by group, over time. A: The Shannon diversity index; B: The Chao1 richness estimate; C: The Simpson diversity index; D: The operational taxonomic units observed, over time, in the placebo and fecal microbiota transplantation groups. FMT: Fecal microbiota transplantation; OTUs: Operational taxonomic units.

Figure 3 Beta diversity over time. PbO: Placebo; FMT: Fecal microbiota transplantation.
