Fig. 4

Partial bacterial taxa that differed significantly between patients with periodontitis and diabetes mellitus (DM group) and patients with periodontitis and diabetic nephropathy (DN group), according to linear discriminant analysis coupled with effect size (LEfSe). (a) Shows bacterial clades that are differentially abundant in DM group (red), and DN group (green). Clades in this graph were both statistically significant (p < 0.05) and had a linear discriminants (LDAs) score ≥ 2.0, which is considered a significant effect size. The circle from the inside to the outside in (b) represents the classification level from phylum to genera. The diameters of circles represent the relative abundance. Yellow indicates no significant difference; red and green dots represent significant differences in the pedigree for DM group and DN group (respectively)
