Mediation analysis of the microbiome on changes to EBD, cytokines, SCFAs and eicosanoids. (A) The three outcomes, PGD2, PGE2 and valeric acid, to be mediated by changes in the microbiome. Exposure is CPB, the mediator is the microbiome, and the outcomes are listed above. (B) The three markers of EBD, FABP2, claudin-2 and claudin-3, depicting no statistically significant mediation effect of the microbiome on the changes in EBD. CNT, control; FABP2, fatty acid-binding protein 2. Blue lines indicate the association between the microbiome and individual biomarkers using principal component axis 1, and shaded gray areas represent the 95% confidence intervals.
