This template provides an external link to PubMed abstracts of biomedical journals.
It is intended to be used where a short in-text citation link is adequate to get the point across and where including a full citation might be overkill (as, for example, on talk pages).
The template requires a PMID abstract number to be given:
Call: {{PMID|12345678}} Result: PMID 12345678
To find a PMID abstract number, search for the article at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed
This template also supports up to nine PMIDs, so the template comes in helpful to conveniently format lists of PMIDs (for example, in tables):
Call: {{PMID|12345678|23456789|12344321}} Result: PMID 12345678, 23456789, 12344321
For leadouts different from the default "," this can be specified using the optional |leadout=
parameter:
Call: {{PMID|12345678|23456789|12344321|leadout=and}} Result: PMID 12345678, 23456789 and 12344321
The template also supports plain links using the |plainlink=
parameter:
Call: {{PMID|12345678|23456789|12344321|plainlink=yes}} Result: 12345678, 23456789, 12344321
Call: {{PMID|12345678|23456789|12344321|leadout=and|plainlink=yes}} Result: 12345678, 23456789 and 12344321
