Figure 2: Fold Changes (95% CIs) for the Association Between Selected Taxa and Risk of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Cancer (HNSCC) in 2 Cohorts, According to Smoking Status and Site of Cancer (Oral Cavity, Pharynx, and Larynx).

The association between taxonomic abundance and HNSCC was detected by the DESeq function adjusting for covariates. Selected taxa are shown with q < .10. Figure was constructed using data presented in eTables 4 and 6 in the Supplement. P, C, O, F, G, and S indicate bacterial taxa on phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species level, respectively.
