SMD values of a meta-analysis of right- versus left-sided tumor-related microbiome composition ( y axis) versus the coefficients of a meta-analysis of stages 0–II versus stages III–IV ( x axis, left), and 0–III versus stage IV ( x axis, right) for taxonomic profiles. Common signature SGBs are in shown orange ( q < 0.1 and P < 0.01, respectively); SGBs significant in the cancer stages meta-analysis are shown in green ( P < 0.01); SGBs significant in the meta-analysis for tumor location are shown in blue ( q < 0.1); and SGBs not significant in both analyses are shown in gray. Asin-sqrt rel. ab., arcsine square root transformed relative abundance; C, Candidatus ; g, group; Intest., ; N.T., not tested in the corresponding analysis.
