A weak trend toward compositional differences was observed (beta diversity R2 = 0.016, p = 0.071).
A weak trend toward compositional differences was observed (beta diversity R2 = 0.016, p = 0.071).
Upon assessing beta diversity, a borderline significant weak trend towards overall community composition difference was noted between the CC/UWL-AHF and ROC groups (R 2 = 0.016, p = 0.071), with the 15 bacterial families contributing most significantly towards community separation demonstrated in Figure 2 .
Our beta diversity analysis showed a trend towards statistical significance, demonstrating that CC/UWL-AHF status explained ~1.6% of the variance in microbiome structure when compared to patients without ( p = 0.071).
