Choline attenuates bilirubin induced effects on tyrosine phosphorylation and distribution in lipid rafts of L1 cell adhesion molecule in vivo.
Article in Pediatric research, 2026. 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
backgroundHyperbilirubinemia in preterm infants causes cerebellar dysfunction. L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is critical for brain development. Its function is dependent on lipid rafts (LR). Bilirubin localizes to LR and disrupts L1CAM function and signaling in the cerebellum of hyperbilirubinemic Gunn rats. Behavioral deficits caused by hyperbilirubinemia in choline-restricted rat pups are ameliorated by choline. We hypothesize that choline supplementation to choline restricted Gunn rat pups reduces the impact of bilirubin on L1CAM in vivo.
methodsPregnant Gunn rat dams were placed on a choline-deficient diet on gestational day 5. Pups were administered choline or saline from P1-5. On P5, they were treated with saline or sulfadimethoxine (SDMX) which increases free bilirubin. Cerebella were harvested 24 h later. L1CAM tyrosine phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, and distribution of L1CAM in LR were determined.
resultsSaline supplemented homozygous (jj) pups treated with SDMX had a reduction in L1CAM tyrosine phosphorylation and Y1176 dephosphorylation and an increase in the proportion of L1CAM in LR. Choline supplementation before SDMX treatment significantly reduced the effect of bilirubin on L1CAM signaling and LR distribution.
conclusionCholine supplementation ameliorates the biochemical effects of bilirubin on L1CAM in vivo on choline-deficient hyperbilirubinemic jj Gunn rat pups. IMPACT: This article found that choline is an intervention for the neurotoxic effects of bilirubin on the choline-restricted developing brain in vivo. This article provides clear evidence toward establishing one intervention for bilirubin neurotoxicity, where little is understood. This article paves the way for future investigation into the mechanism of the ameliorative effect of choline on bilirubin neurotoxicity.
