Calcium transport across the isolated dually perfused human placental lobule.

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
1. Movements of 45Ca and 3H2O in maternal to fetal (M----F) and fetal to maternal (F----M) directions across the dually perfused isolated human placental lobule were measured under steady-state conditions. 2. M----F values of the clearances (CR) and extractions (ER) of 45Ca relative to 3H2O were 0.371 +/- 0.056 and 0.492 +/- 0.086 (mean +/- S.E. of mean) respectively. The corresponding values for F----M movements were 0.277 +/- 0.017 and 0.251 +/- 0.010 respectively. The F----M perfusion flow ratio (QF/QM) was 0.34 +/- 0.01 throughout. Comparison with previously published data indicated a significant degree of membrane limitation to Ca transfers. 3. There was evidence of a mismatch between tissues receiving a fetal and those receiving a maternal perfusion. 4. The relative extraction ER was markedly and reversibly enhanced when perfusate total Ca was reduced from 2.4 to 0.1 mM. The effect was present in both M----F and F----M transfers and provided evidence for carrier-mediated uptake of Ca on both aspects of the placental barrier. Small and transient decreases in the relative clearance CR were observed on changing from 2.4 to 0.1 mM-Ca in M----F and to a lesser extent F----M transfers while transient increases were seen on changing from 0.1 back to 2.4 mM-Ca. 5. Measurement of net changes in Ca levels in closed-circuit studies indicated a significant release of both ionized (Ca2+) and total (CaT) Ca into the fetal perfusate at total Ringer solution concentrations of 1.4, 1.9 and 2.4 mM-Ca. Release of Ca into the maternal circuit was also observed using 1.4 mM-Ca Ringer solution but when 1.9 and 2.4 mM-Ca Ringer solution was used a net uptake occurred. 6. These findings strongly suggest that mechanisms by which Ca is transferred from M----F circulations in vivo are at least partly preserved in the in vitro human placental preparation. They indicate that this preparation is suitable for the study of these mechanisms and their regulation by hormonal and other factors.
