The influence of lymph node metastasis quantity in thyroid cancer on gut microbiota. The number of common and unique OTUs in F1, T1, and T2 (A). The relative ratio of top abundant taxa in F1, T1, and T2 at the phylum level (B). The relative ratio of top abundant taxa in F1, T1, and T2 at the genus level (C). Significantly differential taxa in F1, T1, and T2 at the phylum level (D). Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) effect size (LEfSe) analysis of fecal microbial genus in F1, T1, and T2 (E). F1: Number of lymph node metastases is less than 5, T1: Number of lymph node metastases is between 5 and 10, T2: Number of lymph node metastases exceeds 10.
