Screening of oral bacterial microbiome using LEfSe analysis and random forest analysis. (A) Cladogram of oral microbial structure and predominant bacteria revealed the greatest differences in taxa between RPs and HCs. (B) LEfSe analysis of the KEGG pathway identified a significant difference between RPs and HCs (LDA score > 2). LEfSe, linear discriminant analysis (LDA) effect size. LDA: linear discriminant analysis. KEGG: Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes. (C) Random forest plot showing the 15 most predictive bacterial genera that differentiate RPs from HCs. (D) Box plots of relative abundance of predictive bacterial genera and the p value were calculated using the Mann Whitney test. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001
