Effect of Moxibustion on the Intestinal Flora of Rats with Knee Osteoarthritis Induced by Monosodium Iodoacetate

Figure 6

LEfSe (a) and LDA (b) analyses based on OTUs characterizing the microbiomes of the 4 groups. (a) The circle in the LEfSe cladogram radiating from inside to outside represents the classification level from the phylum to species; each small circle represents a classification at this level, and the diameter of the small circle is proportional to the relative abundance; the species without significant differences are uniformly colored yellow, and other species with different abundances are colored according to the group with the highest abundance of the species. Different colors represent different groups, and the different color nodes represent the microbial groups that play an important role in the groups represented by the color. (b) The graph shows the bacteria with an LDA score greater than 4.0. The length of the histogram represents the impact size of the different species (LDA score), and the different colors represent the species in different groups.
