CURRENT: Biographies Case reports Clinical trials (any phase) Comments Congresses Controlled clinical trials Editorials Evaluation studies Guidelines Historical articles Journal articles Letters Meta-analysis articles Multicenter studies News Newspaper articles Randomized controlled trials Review articles Validation studies Clinical Trials was designed to pick up certain trial types based on previous customer requests, but does not bring in all sub types as per the general understanding of how the thesaurus works. WILL BE CHANGED TO Biographies Case reports Clinical trials (any phase) Clinical trials phase I Clinical trials phase II Clinical trials phase III Clinical trials phase IV Comments Congresses Controlled clinical trials Editorials Evaluation studies Guidelines Historical articles Journal articles Letters Meta-analysis articles Multicenter studies News Newspaper articles Randomized controlled trials Review articles Validation studies and 'Clinical trials (any phase)' would pick up the following: clinial trials phase 1,2,3 and 4; controlled clinical trials; multicenter studies; randomized controlled trials. Don't forget, when dealing with these lists, you can select multiple choices using the CTRL and SHIFT keys on your keyboard to select either individual choices or a series of choices. This has been implemented and will appear within the interface Saturday morning.
