FC: fold change, CCVR: combined contraceptive vaginal ring (A: n = 32, B: n = 32 matched participants), COC: combined oral contraceptives (A: n = 35, B: n = 34 matched participants), Net-En (A: n = 28, B: n = 32 matched participants).

aPositive fold changes represent taxa more abundant in the first hormonal contraceptive arm.

bTaxa with an adjusted P < 0.05 after adjusting for condom use and antibiotic use included.

cPositive fold changes represent taxa more abundant at crossover.

dTaxa with an adjusted P < 0.5 included.
