From: Early gut microbiome composition of very preterm infants randomised to receive human milk volumes of 60 ml/kg/day or more within the first 36 hours after birth

Fig. 1

No significant difference in taxonomic richness a, b or Shannon diversity c, d was observed between enteral feed intervention groups. Violin plots a, c compare global alpha diversity values across all samples. Each point represents an individual sample with violin width linked to density of samples at each metric value. Scatter plots illustrate opposing trends in richness b and Shannon diversity d between intervention groups, though these associations were insignificant.
