Kaplan-Meier plot of rats transplanted with cecal contents. Groups of rats in the high-salt study (shown in Fig. 1) were continued on the high-salt diet until their natural death. On the day of death of each rat, the age of the rat was recorded and imputed in the plot. S rats transplanted with R microbiota are represented by a gray line. S rats transplanted with S microbiota are represented by a black line. t-Test, P < 0.05.
