We have automatic error reporting on most pages. Our goal is fix breaks due to refactor and cleanup resolved in 24hrs. If a problem persists longer than that, please email us.
We take what shifts this modifier is known to make and the shifts reported for a symptom. There are many bacteria involved. We sum all of the shifts (some positive and some negative) to estimate a predictor. Some bacteria may have greater impact (that information is not available in 99% of studies) so the estimate can be wrong in edge cases.
This is based on associations discovered from annotated 16s microbiome samples. See this post for more information.
