Fig. 5: Lineage 5 was enriched in tumour samples associated with lymphovascular invasion.

A A heatmap showing the percentages in Fusobacterium communities and estimated relative abundance among bacteria in tumours and corresponding pathological characteristics were included for analysis. B Associations between lineage abundance and pathological characteristics. For each pathological characteristic, patients were grouped by the corresponding categories listed in (A), and lineage abundance was compared. The p values are summarised with orange and grey shades denoting significant and insignificant results. See (C) and Fig. S10 for details of comparison and statistical analyses. C L5 abundance showed an association with lymphovascular invasion. Mann-Whitney test (two-sided) followed by the Benjamini-Hochberg correction. Adjusted p values are shown. Individual data points are shown along with the medians and interquartile ranges. arb. unit, arbitrary unit. See Supplementary Data 3 and 4 for detailed data.
