Fig. 1From: Congruent microbiome signatures in fibrosis-prone autoimmune diseases: IgG4-related disease and systemic sclerosisMicrobiome community structure in IgG4-RD and SSc. a Alpha diversity boxplots indicate significantly lower alpha diversity in IgG4-RD compared to controls (FDR = 0.06). Boxplots show median and lower/upper quartiles; whiskers show inner fences. b PCoA plot of beta diversity using Bray-Curtis dissimilarity measure. Beta diversity correlates significantly with sample annotation according to IgG4-RD, SSc, or control status (PERMANOVA FDR = 0.004). Marginal figures present distributions of samples along each axis. Controls N = 165, IgG4-RD N = 58, SSc N = 90Back to article page
