LHMP associations between cytokines and bacteria and fungi identified by LassoGLMM. Strong associations between bacteria and (a) BAL IL-ra (L1) and (b) systemic IL-ra (L2). Each horizontal grey line represents a subject. When a colored circle is located on the grey line, it is the relative abundance of that microbe for that individual. Perfect positive association between cytokine and bacteria or fungi 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
