Figure 2.
Preliminary MR analyses for the associations between gut microbiota and the risk of periodontitis. The circle from the outer to the inner represented the IVW, WM, and MR-Egger estimates, respectively. Gut microbiota was classified in order, phylum, class, family, and genus. The shades of color were reflections of the magnitude of the p-value as the label inside the circle. (MR, Mendelian randomization; IVW, inverse variance-weighted; WM, weighted median).
