Gut microbiota α-diversity of ELBW preterm infants supplemented with L. reuteri or placebo

Boxplots (median with 25% and 75% percentiles and 1.5× the interquartile range; diamond shape depicts the mean) showing the α-diversity (Shannon index), richness (observed ASVs), and evenness (Pielou’s evenness index) from 1 week to 2 years of life in ELBW preterm infants supplemented with L. reuteri (Lr) or placebo (Pl). PMW36, post-menstrual week 36; w, week; y, year. ∗∗∗p < 0.001, ∗∗p < 0.01, and ∗p < 0.05 with Mann-Whitney U test and p value adjustment for multiple comparisons with the method from Benjamini and Hochberg.
