Beta diversity analysis of gut microbiota among patients with silicosis and healthy subjects. a A cluster tree showing significant gut microbiotadiversity in patients with silicosis. b Boxplots depicting differences in gut microbiota diversity between the two groups. Box parameters, the “-” symbol represents the median value, and the upper and lower ranges of the box represent the 75th and 25th percentiles, respectively. c A heat map depicting the relationship between the two groups. The blue color represents the range of 0–0.4 and the red color the range of 0.4–1.0
