Literature collection
A structured, growing collection of microbiome-related scientific literature that has been reviewed or considered relevant to interpretation on this site. It is intentionally neutral and does not imply validation or consensus.
Entries are not filtered by certainty or consensus. The point is traceability—what each study asserts and where its limits are—not authority or agreement.
Collection entries
One claim per study. Mixed, uncertain, or conflicting findings sit alongside stronger ones; nothing here is ranked or scored.

| Paper | One-sentence claim | Study type | Limitation | Tags | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| H | Depommier et al., 2017, Nature Medicine | Pasteurized A. muciniphila supplementation improved insulin sensitivity in overweight adults. | RCT (human) | Small sample; specific preparation and dose; not a consumer stool test endpoint | akkermansia, intervention, metabolism |
| M | Everard et al., 2013, PNAS | Obese mice had lower A. muciniphila abundance, and restoring it improved metabolic markers. | Preclinical (mouse) | Animal model; not direct evidence for human test interpretation | akkermansia, obesity, metabolism |
| H | Human Microbiome Project Consortium, 2012, Nature | Healthy human gut microbiomes are highly variable between individuals but stable within individuals over time. | Observational cohort | 2012 sequencing depth and methods; limited diversity sampling | diversity, baseline, methodology |
| + | Valdes et al., 2018, BMJ | Diet influences gut microbiome composition, but causal effects on long-term health outcomes remain incompletely defined. | Review | Heterogeneous primary studies; association-heavy field | diet, interpretation, evidence-limits |
