Correlation between RNA sequencing and metagenome results. (A) Correlation plots and (B) scatter plots comparing ACRC and HRA samples. (C) Correlation plots and (D) scatter plots comparing ACRC and NC samples. (E) Correlation plots and (F) scatter plots comparing HRA and NC samples. In correlation plots, color indicates correlation coefficients, and circle size indicates statistical significances. Only correlation coefficients with p-values < 0.05 are shown. The two analysis results with the highest positive and negative correlation coefficients are presented as scatter plots and regression lines. p-values of each correlation analysis are indicated in the correlation plots (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001). ACRC advanced colorectal cancer, HRA high-risk adenoma, NC normal control.
