Twenty common conditions were queried in PubMed, restricted to randomized controlled trials [publication type], for which hundreds (but not thousands) of articles were retrieved. We also queried 22 condition/specific intervention pairs for which numerous randomized controlled trials were retrieved. As far as possible, the condition/intervention pairs were matched to the simple condition queries. Capitalized terms are MeSH headings, but all terms were queried as shown (restricted to MeSH where [mh] is indicated).
