A heat map showing the correlations among the microbiota and clinical indices (only genera significantly correlated with at least one clinical index [p < 0.05] are shown). *Significant correlation between the genera and clinical indices (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01) (a). Heat map of clinical indices correlated with differential metabolites. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients between two clinical indices and nine differential metabolites. All nine metabolites were upregulated in the SECC group. * indicates a significant correlation between the metabolites and clinical indices (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01) (b)
