The PubMed Abstract Sifter sub-tab helps the user build a query for the PubMedEXIT service. The query expression starts with the name and CASRN of the chemical already in place. The user can add terms from a drop down menu for some pre-defined topics. The query is updated to show these terms. The user can edit the query in the text box to use other terms before clicking retrieve to get results from PubMed. Results are presented in a table which allows filtering and selection before export to CSV, Excel, or PubMed. Export to PubMed jumps to the PubMed site with a search for the selected articles.
