Bring Pubmed
to VS Code Copilot

Useful for building reading lists, comparing studies, or analyzing a collection of articles from a reference list. Retrieve multiple articles by PMID list

For structured abstracts, returns all sections (Background, Methods, Results, Conclusions). Essential for quickly evaluating whether a paper is relevant without accessing the full text. Get the full abstract text of a PubMed article

Returns title, all authors, journal name, publication date, volume, issue, pages, DOI, publication types, and language. Get article details by PubMed ID (PMID)

Essential for understanding an article's impact, finding follow-up studies, and tracking how findings have been built upon by other researchers. Get articles that cite a given PubMed article

The algorithm considers title, abstract, MeSH headings, and substances to compute similarity scores. This is often more effective than keyword search for discovering relevant literature. Find related articles using NCBI similarity algorithm

Use "LastName FirstInitial" format for best results (e.g. "Doudna JA", "Zhang F"). Returns the author's publication list with article metadata. Find PubMed articles by author name

Can be combined with a topic query. Use journal abbreviations or full names (e.g. "Nature", "N Engl J Med", "Lancet", "Cell", "Science", "JAMA", "BMJ"). Find articles published in a specific journal

MeSH terms provide precise topic classification. Examples: "Neoplasms", "Diabetes Mellitus", "Machine Learning", "Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats", "COVID-19". Search using MeSH controlled vocabulary terms

This includes Phase I-IV trials, randomized controlled trials, and clinical study reports. Essential for evidence-based medicine and systematic reviews. Search for clinical trial publications

Uses the Substance Name field for precise matching. Examples: "metformin", "pembrolizumab", "remdesivir", "aspirin", "dexamethasone". Search articles mentioning specific drugs or compounds

This filters to only return open access or author-deposited articles where the complete manuscript can be read for free. Essential for researchers without institutional journal subscriptions. Search for articles with free full-text available

Uses the Gene Name field tag for precise matching. Examples: "TP53", "BRCA1", "EGFR", "KRAS", "MYC". Can be combined with a topic query for more specific results. Search articles mentioning specific genes

Returns article titles, authors, journals, dates, DOIs, and publication types. Sort options: "relevance" (default), "date", "pub_date", "first_author", "journal". Search 36M+ biomedical articles on PubMed

Use this to stay up-to-date with the latest publications in your research area. Default is last 30 days. Find the most recent articles in a field

These are the highest level of evidence synthesis in medicine and provide comprehensive overviews of research on a topic. Search for review articles and meta-analyses

This surfaces papers that are generating the most attention and engagement in the research community. Find trending articles in a subject area
