Kinetics of imidazole propionate from orally delivered histidine in mice and humans.
Article in NPJ biofilms and microbiomes, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Imidazole Propionate (ImP), a gut-derived metabolite from histidine, affects insulin signaling in mice and is elevated in type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, the source of histidine and the role of the gut microbiota remain unclear. We conducted an intervention study in mice and humans, comparing ImP kinetics in mice on a high-fat diet with varying histidine levels and antibiotics, and assessed ImP levels in healthy and T2D subjects with histidine supplementation. Results show that dietary histidine is metabolized to ImP, with antibiotic-induced gut microbiota suppression reducing ImP levels in mice. In contrast, oral histidine supplementation resulted in increases in circulating ImP levels in humans, whereas antibiotic treatment increased ImP levels, which was associated with a bloom of several bacterial genera that have been associated with ImP production, such as Lactobacilli. Our findings highlight the gut microbiota's crucial role in regulating ImP and the complexity of translating mouse models to humans.
