Procrustes analysis for correlations between microbiota and metabolites. Longer lines on the Procrustes plot specify more within-subject dissimilarity. a Overall successful FMT treatment (Procrustes sum of squares, 0.4467; correlation, 0.7439; P = 0.0001). b Overall unsuccessful FMT treatment (Procrustes sum of squares, 0.611; correlation, 0.6237; P = 0.0407). Data are shown for donor (n = 9), recipient 0 (n = 9), recipient 1 (n = 9), and recipient 7 (n = 9) in successful cases, and for donor (n = 3), recipient 0 (n = 3), recipient 1 (n = 3), and recipient 7 (n = 3) in unsuccessful FMT treatment cases. c Pearson correlations in donor (D-success and D-failure) and b for the recipient group at days 0, 1, and 7 (donor and recipient n numbers, as shown above for successful and unsuccessful FMT treatment). Color shows Pearson correlation coefficient distribution: blue represents a significant negative correlation (P < 0.05), red represents a significant positive correlation (P < 0.05), and white represents a non-significant correlation (P ≥ 0.05). ^$P < 0.001, ^#P < 0.01, and *P < 0.05 indicate statistical significance
