- Group 0 name Corresponds to the control (unexposed) group for case-control studies
- Healthy controls
- Group 1 name Corresponds to the case (exposed) group for case-control studies
- graves orbitopathy
- Group 1 definition Diagnostic criteria applied to define the specific condition / phenotype represented in the case (exposed) group
- The diagnosis of GO was established according to the EUGOGO Guidelines. The active GO was defined by a clinical activity score (CAS)≥3/7, and the severe GO was defined by NOSPECS score≥IV. CT or MRI was used to exclude any orbital space-occupying disease such as tumor or extraocular myositis.
- Group 0 sample size Number of subjects in the control (unexposed) group
- 32
- Group 1 sample size Number of subjects in the case (exposed) group
- 33
- Antibiotics exclusion Number of days without antibiotics usage (if applicable) and other antibiotics-related criteria used to exclude participants (if any)
- 4 weeks
Lab analysis
- Sequencing type
- 16S
- 16S variable region One or more hypervariable region(s) of the bacterial 16S gene
- V4
- Sequencing platform Manufacturer and experimental platform used for quantifying microbial abundance
- Ion Torrent
Statistical Analysis
- Data transformation Data transformation applied to microbial abundance measurements prior to differential abundance testing (if any).
- relative abundances
- Statistical test
- Metastats
- 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)?
- No
- Matched on Factors on which subjects have been matched on in a case-control study
- age, sex
Alpha Diversity
- Shannon Estimator of species richness and species evenness: more weight on species richness
