Figure 4 Comparison of gut microbiota profiles among different functional constipation subtypes.
A: Comparison of α-diversity among functional constipation (FC) subtypes, including Chao1, richness, Shannon, and Simpson indices; B: Β-diversity analysis of gut microbiota composition among different FC subtypes; C: Β-diversity analysis of gut microbiota composition between slow-transit constipation group and defecatory disorder group; D: Linear discriminant analysis effect size analysis identifying taxa with significantly different relative abundances among groups. aP < 0.05. STC: Slow-transit constipation; DD: Defecatory disorder; MC: Mixed constipation; PCo: Principal co-ordinates; LDA: Linear discriminant analysis.
