Fig. 3From: Exploring Co-occurrence patterns and microbial diversity in the lung microbiome of patients with non-small cell lung cancerAlpha diversity at the phylum level. A Observed phyla B Shannon diversity index (aka Shannon–Wiener index) C Simpson index. Boxplots summarize estimated alpha diversity based on different metrics within each group and show differences between cases and controls. Asterisks represent a significant result from the Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test. Case: lung tumor tissues, Control: tumor-adjacent normal tissues, ***p < 0.001Back to article page
