A boxplot relating species diversity based on 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing to BV. Individuals were first classified in clusters shown in sequence of increasing BV diagnosis on the abscissa. The dots give the Gini-Simpson index for individuals in different clusters. The boxes represent the distributions of the Gini-Simpson index and show its median and interquartile range (IQR) for each cluster. Whiskers extend to the furthest data point that is within 1.5 times the IQR
