Fig. 3From: Intestinal microbiota and metabolome perturbations in ischemic and idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathyStratification of the intestinal microbial and metabolic signatures in DCM according to DM status. A Alpha diversity measured by Shannon index. Kruskal–Wallis’s test. B PCoA depicts bacterial composition among DCM-DM, DCM-nDM and HC. C Heatmap outlines taxonomic features in DCM subgroups at genus level by Metastats analysis and after adjustment for confounder by MaAsLin analysis, respectively. Volcano plots revealed the metabolite alterations in D DCM-DM and E DCM-nDM versus HC. Box plots show metabolites altered in F DCM-DM and G DCM-nDM compared to HC, adjusted for confounding factors. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
