Glucose tolerance curve in patients before and after H. pylori eradication.
The asterisks indicate p< 0.05. Glucose values (mmol/L) are shown for p <0.05.
Fig 2.
Clustering of fecal bacterial communities according to the different study groups by principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) using unweighted (A) and weighted (B) UniFrac distances. Each point corresponds to a community coded according to the patient group and control group. The percentage of variation explained by the plotted principal coordinates is indicated on the axes. Orange square: control group; blue triangle: pre-eradication group; red dot: post-eradication group.

Presence/Absence microbiota heatmap of the study groups.
Significant bacterial taxa among groups according to the likelihood-ratio test (G-test) are depicted (P<0.05, raw and -FDR-corrected).
