Pairwise comparisons of distinctive gut microbial genera among patients with diabetic kidney disease and healthy controls. BMI, body mass index, DKD, Diabetic Kidney Disease, ESRD, End-Stage Renal Disease. MaAsLin2 method with the adjustment of age, sex, and BMI was applied to calculate the pairwise comparisons of distinctive gut microbial genera among three groups. The positive coefficients were shown in red, whereas those negative coefficients were shown in blue. The bars with or without black slant lines indicated the significant or non-significant different genera. The detailed description of these genera was shown in Supplementary Table 1 and the corresponding statistical results using MaAsLin2 were shown in Supplementary Table 3 .
