Hello, everyone.  I wanted to point out that PubMed's Sensitive/Broad
Therapy Clinical Query filter is outdated-when one does a search, an
error message says: 

The following term was not found: clinical trials[MeSH Terms].

 

When I look up Clinical Trials in the MeSH Database, it maps to a couple
likely candidates, including "Clinical Trials as Topic" or "Clinical
Trial [Publication Type]"-both were introduced this year.  

 

I called NLM and reported this, but I have a feeling that if they get
more calls and emails, they'll act quicker.  The phone number for NLM
is: (888) 346-3656; their email is: [log in to unmask]  and their
online form is at: http://apps.nlm.nih.gov/mainweb/siebel/nlm/index.cfm 

 

(Here's what the Sensitive/Broad Therapy Clinical Query filter currently
looks like:

Take care,
