[</a>Editor's note: These changes were implemented in PubMed on May 10, 2012.]

[</a>Editors note: The <a href="//www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/disted/pubmedtutorial/020_210.html">PubMed Tutorial</a> has been updated to reflect this recent change. Also, see the Filters Sidebar tutorial on <a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=696R9GbOyvA">YouTube</a> on May 15, 2012.]
</p>
<p>In order to provide users with a more visible and accessible way to narrow PubMed results, the Limits page will be replaced by a results filter sidebar. The filter sidebar options will work the same way as the limit selections; that is, once a filter is selected it will be activated for subsequent searches until the selection is cleared (see <a href="#fig1">Figure 1</a>).<br /></p>
<p><a name="fig1"></a></p>
<div class="figure" style="width: 684px;"> <img src="graphics/pm_sidebar_fig1.png" alt="Screen capture of PubMed results with default filter sidebar options" title="Screen capture of PubMed results with default filter sidebar options" width="682" height="682" /><br /> <strong>Figure 1: PubMed results with default filter sidebar options.</strong></div>
<p>
Click a filter to narrow your search results, e.g., you may filter your search results for cystic fibrosis to Clinical Trial and articles published in the last 10 years. A "Filters activated" message will display on the result page (see <a href="#fig2">Figure 2</a>). <a name="fig2"></a>
</p>
<p><a name="fig2"></a></p>
<div class="figure" style="width: 658px;"> <img src="graphics/pm_sidebar_fig2.png" alt="Screen capture of PubMed cystic fibrosis results filtered by the last 10 years publication date and Clinical Trial" title="Screen capture of PubMed cystic fibrosis results filtered by the last 10 years publication date and Clinical Trial" width="656" height="699" /><br /> <strong>Figure 2: PubMed cystic fibrosis results filtered by the last 10 years publication date<br /> and Clinical Trial.</strong></div>
<p>Only valid filter options for a result set will display on the sidebar, e.g., Meta-Analysis was removed from the filter list in the search above because none of the result citations were tagged with that article type. </p>
<p>To turn off filters, click either the “Clear all” link to remove all the filters, the “clear” link next to a filter category to clear the selections within that category, or the individual filter.</p>
<p>To add additional filter categories to the sidebar, click the “Choose additional filters” link, select the additional categories, and then click Apply (see <a href="#fig3">Figure 3</a>).</p>
<p><a name="fig3"></a></p>
<div class="figure" style="width: 691px;"> <img src="graphics/pm_sidebar_fig3.png" alt="Screen capture of PubMed results with default filter sidebar selections" title="Screen capture of PubMed results with default filter sidebar selections" width="689" height="482" /><br /> <strong>Figure 3: Filters sidebar “Choose additional filters” pop-up selection box with Sex<br /> and Ages selected.</strong></div>
<p>To add filters to the sidebar for categories with many selections, click the category “more …” link, select the additional filters, and then click Apply (see <a href="#fig4">Figure 4</a>).</p>
<p><a name="fig4"></a></p>
<div class="figure" style="width: 692px;"> <img src="graphics/pm_sidebar_fig4.png" alt="Screen capture of Filters sidebar “more …” pop-up selection box with languages selected" title="Screen capture of Filters sidebar “more …” pop-up selection box with languages selected" width="690" height="531" /><br /> <strong>Figure 4: Filters sidebar category “more …” pop-up selection box with languages selected.</strong></div>
<p>The PubMed default Review and Free full text filters have been moved to the filters sidebar. The “Filter your results” portlet will eventually be incorporated into the filters sidebar.<br />
