The core taxa selected by the random forest algorithm. (A–B) The feature importance scores of 12 taxa at the genus level, which can explain the variance among groups (baseline vs. control: 74.5%; baseline vs. probiotics: 80%). (A) Baseline vs. control; (B) baseline vs. probiotics. (C–D) The relative abundance of relevant taxa changes between groups. *p < 0.05. The data were processed for standardization using the Z-score method, and the y-axis represents the rate of change in relative abundance.
