a In the volcano plot, each dot represents a KEGG Orthologues (KO) and is distinguished by color. KOs enriched before the experiment are shown in red, and KOs enriched after the intervention are shown in blue. b The X axis represents the reporter Z score, and the y axis represents the functional pathways. The pathways with Z-scores less than zero were enriched before intervention, and those with values above zero were enriched after the intervention. The darkness of the bars indicates the completeness of each pathway. c Heatmap of associations between the relative abundances of KOs and clinical parameters. Red represents positive correlation, whereas blue represents negative correlation.
