Advanced Searching
You can use special search syntax listed below to combine search terms or strategically develop a search. Full documentation is provided in the Advanced Searching Techniques section of the Online Help.
Operator Syntax Search Example Sample Results
OR x or y analgesics or side effects

"Side effects of oral misoprostol"

 

The OR operator retrieves records that contain any or all of the search terms. For example, the search heart attack or myocardial infarction retrieves results that contain the terms heart attack, myocardial infarction or both terms; results are all inclusive. You can use the OR operator in both unqualified searches and searches applied to a specific field.
AND x and y analgesics and adverse effects

"most common adverse effects observed during i.v. Ig therapy were headaches (n = 5) and nausea (n = 2), which were controlled with p.o. analgesics and antiemetics"

 

The AND operator retrieves only those records that include all of the search terms. For example, the search blood pressure and stroke retrieves results that contain the term blood pressure and the term stroke together in the same record; results are exclusive of records that do not contain both of these terms. You can use the AND operator in both unqualified searches and searches applied to a specific field.
NOT x not y analgesics not aspirin

"Topical, targeted delivery of analgesics using Transfersomes"

 

The NOT operator retrieves records that contain the first search term and excludes the second search term. For example, the search health reform not health maintenance organizations retrieves only those records that contain the term health reform but excludes the term health maintenance organizations. In this way, you can use the NOT operator to restrict results to a specific topic.
You can use the NOT operator in both unqualified searches and searches applied to a specific field.
Adjacency (ADJ) x y glutamatergic receptors

"involvement of glutamatergic receptors in the antinociception"

 

The Adjacent operator (ADJ) retrieves records with search terms next to each other in that specific order. You do not need to separate search terms manually by inserting ADJ between them, because when you separate terms with a space on the command line, Ovid automatically searches for the terms adjacent to one another. For example, the search blood pressure is identical to the search blood adj pressure.
CheckTags
 

CheckTags are frequently searched terms that have been identified to bypass the mapping screen to help the searcher get to the results faster. Derwent Drug File checktags terms includes the following:

AE CASES
DI IN-VIVO
DM IN-VITRO
FT CLIN.TRIAL
OC BLIND-TEST
PH BLOOD-PLASMA
RC CYTOSTATIC
RN CYTOSTATICS
TR PLACEBO
ST RANDOM
Defined Adjacency (ADJn) x ADJn y adverse adj3 side-effect

"Side-effect endpoints were adverse events at least 20%"

 

The defined adjacency operator (ADJn) retrieves records that contain search terms within a specified number (n-1) of words from each other in any order (stop-words included). To use the adjacency operator, separate your search terms with ADJ and a number from 1 to 99 as explained below:

           ADJ1     Next to each other, in any order
           ADJ2     Next to each other, in any order, up to 1 word in between
           ADJ3     Next to each other, in any order, up to 2 words in between
           ADJ99   Next to each other, in any order, up to 98 words in between

For example, the search physician adj5 relationship retrieves records that contain the words physician and relationship with a maximum of four words in between in either direction. This particular search retrieves records containing such phrases as physician patient relationship, patient physician relationship, or relationship between cancer patient and physician.
Please note Ovid’s order of operation handles terms within parentheses first. Therefore it is recommended to apply the ADJn operator in one-on-one operations to avoid missing out on results. E.g. stroke adj4 (blood pressure or high blood pressure) could potentially miss out on some combinations of stroke with high blood pressure. The optimum way to execute this on Ovid is: (stroke adj4 blood pressure) OR (stroke adj4 high blood pressure).
Frequency (FREQ) x.ab./FREQ=n blood.ab./freq=5

"creatinine using capillary blood was developed using finger prick venous and capillary blood samples"

 

The frequency operator (FREQ) lets you specify a threshold of occurrence of a term in the records retrieved from your search. Records containing your search term are retrieved only if the term occurs at least the specified (n) number of times. In general, records that contain many instances of your search term are more relevant than records that contain fewer instances. The frequency operator is particularly useful when searching a text field, such as Abstract or Full Text, for a common word or phrase.
Unlimited Truncation ($) x$

rat$

"Calibrated serological techniques"

 

Unlimited truncation retrieves all possible suffix variations of the root word indicated. To apply unlimited truncation to a term, type the root word or phrase followed by either of the truncation characters: $ (dollar sign) or * (asterisk). For example, in the truncated search rat*, Ovid retrieves the word rat as well as the words rats, and more.
Limited Truncation ($) x$n

dog$1

"beta-adrenergic stimulation in conscious dogs"

 

Limited truncation specifies a maximum number of characters that may follow the root word or phrase. For example, the truncated search dog$1 retrieves results with the words dog and dogs; but it does not retrieve results with the word dogma.
Mandated Wildcard (#) xx#y

wom#n

"postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes mellitus"

 

Searching with a mandated wildcard retrieves all possible variations of a word in which the wildcard is present in the specified place. You can use it at the end of a term to limit results to only those that contain the word plus the mandated character. For example, the search dog# retrieves results that contain the word dogs, but not those that contain the word dog, effectively limiting results to only those that contain the plural form of the word. The mandated wild card character (#) is also useful for retrieving specialized plural forms of a word. For example, the search wom#n retrieves results that contain both woman and women. You can use multiple wild cards in a single query word.
Optional Wildcard (?) xx?y colo?r

"growth of colon cancer cells"

 

The optional wild card character (?) can be used within or at the end of a search term to substitute for one or no characters. This wild card is useful for retrieving documents with British and American word variants since it specifies that you want retrieval whether or not the extra character is present. For example, the optional wild card search colo?r retrieves results that contain the words color or colour. You can use multiple wild cards in a single query word.
Literal String ("") "x / y" "hot and cold"

"feeling hot and cold, malaise"

"n" "3".vo

"HIV Medicine (3, No. 4, 277-82, 2002)"

 

Quotation marks can be used to retrieve records that contain literal strings, when the string includes special characters, such as a forward slash (/).

Quotation marks can also be used to retrieve records that contain numbers that may otherwise be confused for earlier searches. In the example, a search for 3.vo would limit the string from your third search in your search history to the volume field. By including the number in quotation marks, the search will retrieve documents with a 3 in the volume number.

Go: Menu or Back 

Stopwords

The Ovid search engine applies so called "run-time stopword processing". This means the search engine on the fly ignores the stopwords: and, as, by, for, from, in, is, of, on, that, the, this, to, was, were & with.

Therefore a search: at risk for diabetes.ti will also find: at risk of diabetes. The distance of one word in between is kept, but the stopword "for" is ignored.

Abstract:
	This study showed that high doses of sodium phenylacetate (SP) and substituted dextran derivatives had antiproliferative
    	effects in 1205 LU human melanoma tumor cells in-vitro. At concentrations achieved in-vivo, SP had no antiproliferative
        effects. Semisynthetic dextrans with methylcarboxylate (MC) and benzylamide (B) substituent (DMCB-type dextrans) had
        antiproliferative effects and inhibited cell adhesion. An in-vivo study with the most active derivative is under way to study 
        the effects of these agents on tumor growth and angiogenesis.

In human 1205LU tumor melanoma cells, which form nodules in-vitro that resemble the chemorefractory tumors observed in the lungs of athymic mice, high doses of SP (12-18 mM) exhibited a dose-dependent antiproliferative effect. No antiproliferative effects were achieved at physiological concentrations of SP (1 mM or less). The DMCB-type dextran derivatives had an antiproliferative effect of about 20% at concentrations above 100 ug/ml. Studies with matrigel suggested these DMCB derivatives also inhibited cell adhesion.
