The PubMed Summary results page will soon show results from other high-quality resources in a column to the right of the PubMed search results.
The first example of this new feature will be the Drug Sensor developed at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). This sensor detects whether a drug name is present in a user’s search, and if so, presents exerpts of information from other resources that you can link to to read more (see Figure 1). The summary consists of a title (created from the drug name in the search query), some content from the linked resource, and an attribution line. At this time, about 200 drug names are included.
The Drug Sensor currently highlights a publication which is new on the PubMed Bookshelf: PubMed Clinical Q&A, a collection of evidence-based medicine summaries. These summaries can be used to learn more about current treatment practices and the level of evidence that supports them.
