From: Mendelian randomization analyses reveal causal relationships between the human microbiome and longevity

Figure 2

Comparisons of causalities between Chinese and European populations. (a–c) represented the causalities from gut microbiome to longevity by comparing the effect sizes of all available causalities between Chinese and MiBioGen (mainly European, (a)), Finnish (b), and Dutch (c), respectively. (d–f) represented the causalities from longevity to gut microbiome by comparing the effect sizes of all available causalities between Chinese and MiBioGen (mainly European, (d)), Finnish (e), and Dutch (f), respectively. Spearman test was used with correlation coefficients and p-value marked. The red, blue, purple, and green dots indicated the causalities were significant in Chinese, MiBioGen, Dutch, and Finnish, respectively (p < 0.05). The black dots indicated the causalities were not significant in either of the two compared populations. The red dots with a green rectangular box in the Dutch panel represented the shared MR by the Chinese and Dutch.
