𝜷− coefficients returned from GLLVM procedure for intrinsic covariates considered in this study, and the top 20 influential nodes returned for HC samples in Fig. 1 using IVI metric, with the complete results including extrinsic parameters shown in Supplementary Figure S2. Those coefficients which are positively associated with the microbial abundance of a particular genera are represented in red color whilst those that are negatively associated are represented with blue color, respectively. Non-significant associations, if any, are represented with the black color. For categorical variables, one level acts as a reference and is annotated with REF. Genera also found influential for MAP + and MAP- cohort are represented with red color, whilst those found in either of MAP- and MAP + cohort are represented with green and blue colors, respectively
