Comparative analysis of the relative abundance of PICRUSt-generated functional profiles of salivary microbiota. Volcano plot analysis of altered Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways between the following groups: NC (n = 21) and OLP (n = 30) groups (a); OLP− (n = 9) and OLP+ (n = 21) groups (c). KEGG pathways with an average relative abundance greater than 2% in the two groups were included. The p-value was calculated using the two-tailed paired t-test (b) and (d) based on volcano plot analysis (a and c). The distinct gene categories were selected according to significant differences in gene categories at level 3 (t-test, p < 0.05). The bar plots on the left show the mean proportion of each KEGG pathway. The dot plots on the right show the differences in mean proportions between the two indicated groups using p-values
