Dear All -
Wouldn't you like to see all articles where P is primary care and E(exposure) is tamiflu and O is mortality - the aim is to index Medline using PICO words derived from us looking at a few abstracts and generating a list.
In fact it would be more clever than that - it would allow you to see all the outcomes evaluated and the number of articles for those outcomes - ie days of illness, time of work etc for P=primary care patients and E=tamiflu.

We want you to look at just 10 abstracts and identify some of the PICO terms in each abstract. It takes an average of 4 minutes an abstract and if you do one abstract a day over 10 days this would be incredibly useful to everyone looking for answers to clinical problems.
Our web site is http://www-etud.iro.umontreal.ca/~boudinfl/peotagger/
Just try it now watch the video or just try tagging a few words. The aim is to identify PICO terms except we just have E for exposure rather than asking for I or C, so we can include such items as smoking, or even diagnostic tests. Registering is just so you can log back in we wont keep your name or password only the index words will be kept at the end of the project - and these will be available to anyone.
If you have any questions dont hesitate to ask.
Thanks very much to all those who have taken part - tell your friends - spread the word and this can be achieved.
