Unhealthy gut-associated, but not SCFA-producing bacteria are more prevalent in thalassemic patients. (a) Differential rankings of taxa associated with disease status determined by Songbird and illustrated in Qurro. Each taxon is represented by different color bars in the plot. (b) Boxplots showing log-ratios of different unhealthy gut-associated bacterial taxa to that of genus Bacteroides. (c) Boxplots showing log-ratios of different SCFA-producing bacterial taxa to those of the genus Bacteroides. All log-ratios are statistically significant, based on a two-sample t-test (*p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 and *** p < 0.001).
