Automatic Term Mapping (continued)

If no match is found?

There are times when PubMed is unable to match a search term with the MeSH, journals, author or investigator tables or indexes.

PubMed will then search the individual words in All Fields. These individual terms will then be combined (ANDed) together.

In the illustration, the search criteria pressure point is translated by PubMed.

Pressure matched in the MeSH Translation Table, but point did not match in any of the tables, and it is, therefore, searched in All Fields.
