Fig. 1From: Characteristics and interplay of esophageal microbiota in esophageal squamous cell carcinomaMicrobial comparison for alpha diversity between tumor and tumor-adjacent tissues. A Alpha diversity based on the Pielou evenness index (P = 0.887), Faith’s phylogenetic diversity (P < 0.001), observed ASVs (P < 0.001), and Shannon index (P = 0.027). B General linear regression analysis to detect pairwise differences in alpha diversity after adjusting for gender, age, risk index, region, sampling season, tumor location, and TNM stageBack to article page
