Tool for filtering PubMed search results by sample size.

Javier M Aguiar, Alejandro Lucia, Juan Martín-Hernández, Alejandro Santos-Lozano, Carlos Baladrón
The most used search engine for scientific literature, PubMed, provides tools to filter results by several fields. When searching for reports on clinical trials, sample size can be among the most important factors to consider. However, PubMed does not currently provide any means of filtering search results by sample size. Such a filtering tool would be useful in a variety of situations, including meta-analyses or state-of-the-art analyses to support experimental therapies. In this work, a tool was developed to filter articles identified by PubMed based on their reported sample sizes.
