A: Interclass correlation coefficients (ICC) for stability using Scope mouthwash frozen after 4 days at room temperature (day-4) compared to immediately frozen (day-0) for alpha diversity, beta diversity metrics, and the three most dominant phyla (i.e., Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, Proteobacteria) in oral samples from Yazd and Gonbad, Iran, (N participants = 84, n samples = 202). Phylum relative abundances were square root transformed prior to calculating ICCs. P-values for testing statistical heterogeneity between Gonbad and Yazd are shown in Additional files 2 Table S5 and S7. B: ICCs for evaluating comparability between OMNIgene and Scope mouthwash for immediately frozen samples (day-0)
