Differential microbes analysis. The samples were divided into two groups according to patients with or without CID. The number of OTUs that were exclusive or shared by the two groups were visualized by a Venn Chart (a). The strip figure in b displays the LDA effect size analysis. LDA effect size analysis was used to compare the differences in microbial abundance between the two groups (b). LDA scores over 2 mean that the differences are statistically significant (p < 0.05). The cladogram in c displays the composition and proportion of microorganisms at different taxonomic levels. The innermost layer shows the taxonomic tree. The circle from the inside to the outside represents different taxon levels from phylum to genus. Yellow circles represent no statistical difference in species between the two groups, and red circles and green circles represent the higher abundance of genus in the control group and the chemotherapy-induced diarrhea group, respectively. The lowercase English letters corresponding to the different bacteria are shown in the legends
