Group 0 name Corresponds to the control (unexposed) group for case-control studies
(Q1) low level of diet
Group 1 name Corresponds to the case (exposed) group for case-control studies
(Q4) High level of diet
Group 1 definition Diagnostic criteria applied to define the specific condition / phenotype represented in the case (exposed) group
To delve deeper into the differential microbial composition driving the changes in diversity between Q1 and Q4, a Linear Discriminant Analysis Effect Size (LEfSe) analysis was conducted
Antibiotics exclusion Number of days without antibiotics usage (if applicable) and other antibiotics-related criteria used to exclude participants (if any)
3 months
