PubMed and beyond: biomedical literature search in the age of artificial intelligence.
Review in EBioMedicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 61 papers, 5 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
Biomedical research yields vast information, much of which is only accessible through the literature. Consequently, literature search is crucial for healthcare and biomedicine. Recent improvements in artificial intelligence (AI) have expanded functionality beyond keywords, but they might be unfamiliar to clinicians and researchers. In response, we present an overview of over 30 literature search tools tailored to common biomedical use cases, aiming at helping readers efficiently fulfill their information needs. We first discuss recent improvements and continued challenges of the widely used PubMed. Then, we describe AI-based literature search tools catering to five specific information needs: 1. Evidence-based medicine. 2. Precision medicine and genomics. 3. Searching by meaning, including questions. 4. Finding related articles with literature recommendation. 5. Discovering hidden associations through literature mining. Finally, we discuss the impacts of recent developments of large language models such as ChatGPT on biomedical information seeking.
