Citations from journals specializing in clinical review studies are also included. Keep in mind that this is not a comprehensive search of PubMed.<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Tips and Hints for Searching Clinical Queries<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Use specific subject terms to target your search. For example, if you are seeking clinical studies on cranberry juice, type in Vaccinium Macrocarpon instead of cranberry juice.<\/li>\n<li>Do not search for disease name abbreviations. Type in urinary tract infections, not UTI.<\/li>\n<li>After using these features, you may refine your retrieval by using PubMed&#8217;s limits.<\/li>\n<li>Upon reviewing the citations you have retrieved there is an option to view related articles. By selecting this option, you &#8220;turn off&#8221; the Clinical Study search filters and any limits that you have applied.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Note: Information for this handout was gathered from the National Library of Medicine.
