PubMed Clinical Queries : EBM Tool
What is it ? PubMed Clinical Queries is a powerful search tool to extract relevant clinical research studies and systematic reviews from PubMed.
* Identify the best clinical research, while weeding out the rest.
* Easily search for evidence-based practice systematic reviews, including Cochrane Reviews.
(Really--you'll be amazed at how easy it is to pull up EBM Results!)
Where is it? On the PubMed home page. Bonus : Use the PubMed link on the Affinity Library Services Intranet Page to tap into our full-text offerings.
Navigation : Affinity Intranet > Library > PubMed Medline > Clinical Queries
How to use Clinical Queries?
PubMed Tutorial Slides about Clinical Queries.
These slides are part of a longer PubMed Tutorial. Watch as much or as little as you like. Slides 8-11 give a good overview of how and when to use PubMed’s Clinical Queries Tool, complete with animated demonstrations.
What changed? The new layout :
The Clinical Queries page has been reconfigured with columns to preview the first five citations of the results for the three research areas. The radio buttons for Clinical Study Categories and the checkboxes for Medical Genetics have been replaced with pull-down menus. While previewing results, you may make alternate menu selections for the Clinical Study Categories and Medical Genetics to modify those results of your search. Citations display in "Recently Added" order and link to the Abstract format in PubMed. "See all" links to the complete results.
Descriptions of the research areas appear under each column. (NLM Technical Bulletin)
