Effects of histidine supplementation on amino acid metabolism in rats.
Article in Physiological research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Histidine (HIS) is investigated for therapy of various disorders and as a nutritional supplement to enhance muscle performance. We examined effects of HIS on amino acid and protein metabolism. Rats consumed HIS in a drinking water at a dose of 0.5 g/l (low HIS), 2 g/l (high HIS) or 0 g/l (control) for 4 weeks. At the end of the study, the animals were euthanized and blood plasma, liver, soleus (SOL), tibialis (TIB), and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles analysed. HIS supplementation increased food intake, body weight and weights and protein contents of the liver and kidneys, but not muscles. In blood plasma there were increases in glucose, urea, and several amino acids, particularly alanine, proline, aspartate, and glutamate and in high HIS group, ammonia was increased. The main findings in the liver were decreased concentrations of methionine, aspartate, and glycine and increased alanine. In muscles of HIS-consuming animals increased alanine and glutamine. In high HIS group (in SOL and TIB) increased chymotrypsin-like activity of proteasome (indicates increased proteolysis); in SOL decreased anserine (beta-alanyl-N1-methylhistidine). We conclude that HIS supplementation increases ammonia production, alanine and glutamine synthesis in muscles, affects turnover of proteins and HIS-containing peptides, and increases requirements for glycine and methionine.
