What happens when you search
- PubMed is queried with the exact string in the box, limited to your earliest year and paper count.
- The records come back as titles, journals, years and links — nothing invented, nothing paraphrased away.
- A short read is written over that set: what it points to, and what a set this size and shape cannot tell you.
- A PDF is produced with the read, the coverage line and the full paper list.
Questions
How does the evidence menu change my search?
Each choice carries a PubMed publication-type term. Choosing Clinical trials only appends the trial filter to your text; Reviews only appends the systematic-review and meta-analysis filter; Everything appends nothing. The full string stays visible and editable in the search box, so what you see is what runs.
Why does the read tell me what it cannot show?
A capped set of recent records is a slice, not a body of evidence. The snapshot names its limits — the year floor, the paper cap, the publication types excluded — so the coverage line under the table can be read honestly.
Is this a substitute for clinical judgement?
No. It is a fast orientation to a literature, built from real records you can open yourself. Every paper in the table links back to its PubMed entry.
Why do larger paper counts take longer?
Every record is fetched from PubMed before anything is written. Twenty-five papers is a comfortable read; a few hundred is a wait, and rarely changes the shape of the answer.
