Shotgun metagenomic sequencing of the representative samples. (a) Heatmap of functional pathway analysis comparing the control and multichannel oral irrigator (MCOI) groups in the second phase. Full lists are provided in the supplementary data. CPM, counts per million mapped reads. (b) Pathway bar plots of the control and MCOI group in the second phase. Stacked bar plots illustrate the relative abundance and contribution diversity in the pathways across the samples. (c) Heatmap of functional pathway analysis comparing the first and second phases in the MCOI group. (d) Pathway bar plots of the first and second phases in the MCOI group.
