Microbial characteristics of gut microbiome dysbiosis in patients with chronic liver disease

Figure 2 Analysis of gut microbiota diversity in healthy control group and C chronic liver disease liver disease groups. The P value in the top left corner is derived from the Wilcoxon rank-sum test conducted across all groups depicted in the figure. Significant differences between pairwise groups are indicated by ^aP < 0.05, ^bP = 0.01, ^cP < 0.01, and ^dP < 0.01, while “ns” denotes no significant difference. A: The Chao1 index mainly reflects the number of species contained in the community, and the higher the value, the higher the estimated species richness in the community; B: The Shannon index mainly reflects the richness and evenness of species, and the larger the value, the higher the richness and evenness in the community; C: The Simpson index mainly reflects the diversity of species, and the higher the value, the higher the species diversity in the community. ZC: Healthy control group; HZ: Chronic hepatitis B group; LC: Liver cirrhosis; HCC: Hepatocellular carcinoma.
