A, B MA plots showing the differential abundances expressed as log2(fold change) between the indicated comparisons. Red dots represent bacterial species being differentially expressed with high statistical significance (P < 0.05). The number of differentially expressed genes and their trends are indicated in red and blue for the up and down-regulated genes, respectively. C Violin plots showing differential normalized expression (log2 fold change) of the indicated bacterial species among EoE, GERD, and control esophagi. The asterisks indicate P < 0.05. D Violin plots showing the Shannon and Simpson indices among EoE, GERD, and healthy esophagi. The asterisks indicate P < 0.05
