Taxonomic differences in the gut microbiotas of Schistosoma japonicum infection-induced liver cirrhosis (SLC) patients. The linear discriminant analysis (LDA) with the calculation of LDA effect size (LEfSe) was performed to identify the differentially abundant taxa between the two groups of samples, represented by red and green for healthy controls and SLC patients, respectively. The histogram of LDA scores shows the biomarkers with significant differences between groups; LDA absolute scores > 2 were considered statistically significant. The length of the column (LDA scores) represents the degree of influence of biomarkers. SLC, S. japonicum infection-induced liver cirrhosis; LDA, linear discriminant analysis
