Diversity of gut microbiota in breast cancer patients and healthy controls. a Total number of species in the four groups. b, c Alpha diversity of the four cohorts at species level, measured in terms of the Chao1 index and Shannon index. d Beta diversity of the four cohorts at species level. Each dot refers to a sample; if a sample has a high average JSD value, it indicates that the gut microbiota community structure of this sample is very different. Furthermore, if most samples of a group have high average JSD values, it indicates that the between-sample variability of the group is high. NS non-significant. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001
