EZ represents excess ZHENG patients group, DZ represents deficiency ZHENG patients group.
VIP means the variable importance in the project.
value was obtained from Mann-Whitney test (ZHENGs compared to WZ group).
FNDZ/WZ or FNDZ/WZ is fold change of mean ranks calculated by the differential metabolites of CHB with excess or deficiency ZHENG/the differential metabolites of CHB without ZHENG.
AUCROC means the area under the ROC curve.
