Fig. 3

Violin boxplot comparing two beta diversity metrics between trial arms at 0, 48 and 72 weeks. A Comparison of AZM and placebo at baseline using Aitchison distance. B Comparison of AZM and placebo at baseline using Bray-Curtis distance on unrarefied ASV counts. C Comparison of AZM and placebo at 48 weeks using Aitchison distance. D Comparison of AZM and placebo at 48 weeks using Bray-Curtis distance on unrarefied ASV counts. E Comparison of AZM and placebo at 72 weeks using Aitchison distance. F Comparison of AZM and placebo at 72weeks using Bray-Curtis distance on unrarefied ASV counts. Asterisk (*) symbol indicates the following: p values were adjusted using BH correction. The first two violin boxplots of each figure shows the distribution of the within group distances in the AZM and placebo arms respectively. The third violin boxplots of each figure shows the distribution of the between group distance between AZM and placebo arms. The horizontal line in the middle of the box is the median. The box presents interquartile range. The whiskers show 95% confidence interval. The shape of the violin display frequencies of values
