From: The gut microbiota in multiple sclerosis varies with disease activity
Species (metagenomics species (MGS)) richness and disease activity in treatment-naïve patients. A–C Relationships between A species richness or C gene richness adjusted for covariates (age, sex, BMI, smoking status, and fecal water content) and number of relapses during follow-up, in treatment-naïve patients only. Spearman’s correlation coefficients along with the associated p-values are displayed. B–D Distribution of B adjusted species richness or D adjusted gene richness, according to disease activity in treatment-naïve patients. P-values associated with Wilcoxon tests are displayed. CNA = clinically not active; CA = clinically active; MS = multiple sclerosis patients, MGS = metagenomics species
