13 Why Didn’t PubMed Find These?

Perhaps you’re wondering why the PubMed search only found one of the clearly relevant articles. Looking at the full-text of one of the articles that was retrieved by EMBASE, but not retrieved by PubMed, will answer this question.

  • If you are no longer looking at the EMBASE tab or window, return to the “Embase” window or tab now.
  • Click on the “GetIt!@UNMC” button in the record for “Scar Treatments: Preclinical and Clinical Studies”

A screenshot of the EMBASE record for "Scar Treatments: Preclinical and Clinical Studies" is shown. A red arrow points to the "GetIt@UNMC" button.

McGoogan Library pays for access to this journal so one or more links to a full-text source/s will appear in the new tab or window.

  • Click links as needed to continue to the full-text (preferably a .pdf version).

A screenshot shows the position of the link to the full-text source in the central "View Online" area of the page.

  • If you are taken to the website but not the specific article, find the website search feature, and search for the article title (Scar treatments: Preclinical and Clinical Studies).
  • If a blank screen appears at some point, check for the pdf in your downloads folder.

When you reach the full-text of the article (either in .html or .pdf form),

  • click inside the full text article
  • Hit the Ctl-f (Windows PCs) or Command-f (Macs) keys to produce a “Find” box.
  • Type —

celecoxib 

— into the “Find” box

  • hit the Enter/Return button on your keyboard until you’ve seen all instances of the term “celecoxib” that appear in the full-text.
