Clicking a row in the chart also initiates a strict MeSH lookup on the PICO element; not all extracted PICOs will correspond to MeSHs, but expect approximately half of lookups to succeed. In the event of a failed lookup, MeSH and Google search linkouts are offered. | Clicking a row in the chart also initiates a strict MeSH lookup on the PICO element; not all extracted PICOs will correspond to MeSHs, but expect approximately half of lookups to succeed.
