Correlation networks of the microbiome. a Heatmap of correlation coefficients in the CI, II and Tc groups. b Network map between species. Each node in the graph represents a species, with the color of the dot representing the highest relative abundance observed within these subgroups. The size of the dot corresponds to the average relative abundance of the species, with larger dots indicating higher abundance. The species are connected to each other through straight lines, with the color pink indicating a positive correlation and blue indicating a negative correlation. The thickness of the lines reflects the magnitude of the correlation, with only correlation coefficients > 0.2 between species being displayed
