Taxonomic relative abundances are only presented for those with significant differences according to the Wilcoxon rank-sum test among taxa with a composition ratio of more than 1% (* p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01). Pre refers to the iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) patient group, and Post refers to the group receiving iron supplementation and recovering from IDA. The a, b, and c superscripts denote the groups subjected to difference significance determination (a, Normal–Pre; b, Pre–Post; c, Normal–Post).
