Fig. 2: Correlations between phage and bacterial populations as well as between population measures and MetS clinical parameters.
From: Gut virome profiling identifies a widespread bacteriophage family associated with metabolic syndrome
Strong correlations between a phage richness (observed VCs) and bacterial richness (Chao1 index), as well as between b phage and bacterial evenness (Pielou’s index), both with significant positive two-sided Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. Colors refer to participant groups: MetS (orange) and controls (blue). Both of these measures were correlated to MetS clinical parameters. Plotted are the Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients between the five MetS risk factors and c richness and d evenness. Points with q values below 0.05 are colored in and labeled. Q values were obtained after adjusting p values for multiple testing with the Benjamini–Hochberg procedure. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
