Condition The experimental condition / phenotype studied according to the Experimental Factor Ontology: Diarrhea Diarrhea,Diarrhoea,Watery stool,diarrhea

Group 0 name Corresponds to the control (unexposed) group for case-control studies: Healthy Controls (HC)

Group 1 name Corresponds to the case (exposed) group for case-control studies: Children with Diarrhea (CD)

Group 1 definition Diagnostic criteria applied to define the specific condition / phenotype represented in the case (exposed) group: Children with diarrhea experience a range of health impacts, such as difficulty in feeding, reduced immunity, malnutrition, and foodborne illness, with potential complications like viral myocarditis.

Group 0 sample size Number of subjects in the control (unexposed) group: 414

Antibiotics exclusion Number of days without antibiotics usage (if applicable) and other antibiotics-related criteria used to exclude participants (if any): 1 month

16S variable region One or more hypervariable region(s) of the bacterial 16S gene: V3-V4

Sequencing platform Manufacturer and experimental platform used for quantifying microbial abundance: Illumina

Data transformation Data transformation applied to microbial abundance measurements prior to differential abundance testing (if any).: relative abundances

Significance threshold p-value or FDR threshold used for differential abundance testing (if any): 0.05

MHT correction Have statistical tests be corrected for multiple hypothesis testing (MHT)?: Yes

Confounders controlled for Confounding factors that have been accounted for by stratification or model adjustment: age, Confounders controlled for: "gender" is not in the list (abnormal glucose tolerance, acetaldehyde, acute graft vs. host disease, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, adenoma, age, AIDS, alcohol consumption measurement, alcohol drinking, ...) of allowed values.gender
