LM recently modified the icons that appear on the Summary display format. We are now able to indicate which citations in PubMed have a link to free full text.
</p>
<p>
An icon with a green banner indicates there is a link to full text and no payment or subscription is required. An icon with an orange and green banner indicates free full text is available from PubMed Central.
</p>
<p>
A previously used icon with only an orange banner that indicated free full text was available from PubMed Central is no longer in use.
</p>
<p>
The table below summarizes the meaning of the icons, including what is shown when you hold the mouse over the icon (i.e., mouseover).

This icon indicates the citation has neither an abstract nor a link to free full text. Clicking on the icon
displays the Abstract format (albeit without an abstract) which may display a link to
another source for the full text of the article. </td>
