The use of choline supplementation in premature newborns: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Revista paulista de pediatria : orgao oficial da Sociedade de Pediatria de Sao Paulo, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo identify the routes and doses of choline supplementation required to meet the metabolic demands of preterm infants. DATA SOURCE: The information was searched in three databases: US National Library of Medicine National Institute of Health (PubMed), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and Web of Science. The search for articles was updated in August 2024, with no restrictions on publication year or language. This review was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews - PROSPERO (ID: 549568). DATA SYNTHESIS: The final selection of studies yielded eight original articles, which were subsequently evaluated for their methodological quality. The recommended dosage of parenteral choline remains uncertain. However, studies have demonstrated a reduction in serum choline level inversely proportional to the quantity administered via parenteral nutrition, particularly in preterm infants with slow progression to enteral nutrition. The dose of 40-50 mg/kg/day of enteral choline appears to be sufficient to maintain plasmatic levels at a concentration comparable to that observed in the umbilical cord of preterm infants.
conclusionsThe need for daily choline supplementation from the first day of life is still controversial. The results of the selected studies do not allow for the determination of the optimal choline dosage for parenteral nutrition in these infants. Nevertheless, there is some scientific evidence suggesting that providing 40-50 mg/kg/day enterally is sufficient to meet the metabolic needs of preterm infants.
