Reference Retrieval Skill

Core Function

This skill helps users quickly retrieve and filter high-quality, highly relevant references from PubMed based on natural language descriptions.

Workflow

Step 1: Construct Boolean Query

1. Analyze intent: Understand user semantics, extract core medical keywords (MeSH Terms preferred).
2. Construct Boolean query:
   • Logical operators: Use AND (intersection), OR (union), NOT (exclusion).
   • Truncation: Use * to match variants (e.g., diagno* matches diagnosis, diagnostic).
   • Example: For "metformin treatment of type 2 diabetes", construct: Metformin AND "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2" AND (Therapy OR Treatment).
