Correlation analysis based on flora operational taxonomic units (OTUs) and clinical factors. The color intensity indicates the correlation degree between OTU abundance and principal parameters which were evaluated by Spearman’s correlation analyses. The top 75 OTUs, with statistically significant abundance differences by Spearman’s correlation analyses with specific metabolic parameters in groups. Significantly different clinical factor changes are marked with an asterisk (*) (p < 0.05). (A) OTUs abundance changes. Red and blue showing the OTUs abundance with more and less abundant in HCs and postoperative group in different time window groups relative to the before group. (B) Correlations between 75 OTUs and host metabolic parameters. Color intensity represents the level of association between OTU abundance and principal parameters, as assessed by Spearman's correlation analyses. Rows correspond to OTUs with identities on the left, and columns correspond to serum parameters. Positive and negative associations are shown in red and blue. The asterisk (*) indicates significant difference (p < 0.05). (C) OTU taxonomy is shown on the right. OTUs whose abundance was altered by tumor models and then significantly reversed by transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE).
