Statistical Analysis
- Data transformation Data transformation applied to microbial abundance measurements prior to differential abundance testing (if any).
- relative abundances
- Statistical test
- LEfSe

Description: FIGURE 4 Shows the differential abundance and association analysis among the cervical microbiota of the fresh pregnancy group and the non-pregnancy group. (A) LEfSe analysis chart: The LDA score of the genera which showed differentially abundance between pregnant and non-pregnant women in fresh IVF-ET cycle.
Abundance in Group 1: decreased abundance in Clinical pregnancy (FP)
