Thank you for your feedback! The community response to the launch of PubMed Labs has been outstanding. The National Library of Medicine (NLM) is continuing to test new features at PubMed Labs, for example, the addition of a new view for search results.

In response to your input, we have added "Abstract" to the DISPLAY OPTIONS of the PubMed Labs search results. Click the ‘gear’ icon at the top right of the results page and click “Abstract” to see the new view (see Figure 1).

Be sure to let us know how this and other new features in PubMed Labs work for you.

Please note that PubMed Labs includes only a limited set of features, and not the full set of PubMed tools. The absence of a PubMed tool in PubMed Labs does not mean it is planned for elimination.
