OC-COPD associations between laboratory measurements and bacteria identified by LassoGLMM. Strong associations between bacteria and (a) BUN (O2), (b) IGM (O3), (c) SGOT (O7), (d) SGPT (O8), and (e) cholesterol (O9). Each horizontal grey line represents an individual. When a colored circle is located on the grey line, it is the relative abundance of that microbe for that subject. Perfect positive association between clinical variable and bacteria would form a line from the bottom-left to the top-right of the graph and would have a highly positive β coefficient in the LassoGLMM. Perfect negative association would form a line from the top-left to the bottom-right of the graph and would have a highly negative β coefficient
