Fig. 4: The microbiome mediates the diet’s effect.
From: Impact of dietary interventions on pre-diabetic oral and gut microbiome, metabolites and cytokines

Each alluvial plot shows paths from diet to outcomes that are mediated by oral and gut microbial species (two-sided bootstrap p < 0.05). The outcomes in (a) and (b) are glycemic measurements, and in (c) and (d) the outcomes are metabolites and cytokines. (a) and (c) Show paths of the “PPT diet”, while (b) and (d) show paths of the “MED diet”. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
