From: Metagenomic sequencing reveals altered gut microbial compositions and gene functions in patients with non-segmental vitiligo

Fig. 1

Gut microbial α-diversity was significantly reduced in vitiligo patients; β-diversity was not. a, b Decreased gut microbial α-diversity in vitiligo patients. Vitiligo patients had lower Shannon (a) and Simpson (b) indexes than did the HCs (Wilcoxon rank-sum test, P < 0.05, boxplots are shown as medians, 5%‒95% confidence interval). c PCoA plot representing β-diversity in vitiligo patients (red dots) and HCs (blue dots) (PEMANOVA test, P = 0.495).
