From: Gut microbiota patterns associated with duration of diarrhea in children under five years of age in Ethiopia

a, b (diarrhea cases); c, d (non-diarrheal controls). a, c observed number of zOTUs and Shannon diversity index increase with age. Boxplot distributions include median, min, max, 25 and 75 percentiles, and outliers (more than 1.5 IQR); b, d PCoA plot and pairwise PERMANOVA (two-sided) (false discovery rate (FDR) corrected q values) based on Bray-Curtis dissimilarity metrics of diarrhea cases and non-diarrheal controls stratified by age. ****, ***, **, and *, represents unadjusted p < 0.0001, <0.001, <0.01, <0.05, respectively, while ns: not significant (two-sided Wilcoxon rank sum test).
