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).

=== Usage ===
The template requires a [[PMID]] abstract number to be given:

 {{nowrap|Call: <nowiki>{{PMID|12345678}}</nowiki>}}
 {{nowrap|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):

 {{nowrap|Call: <nowiki>{{PMID|12345678|23456789|12344321}}</nowiki>}}
 {{nowrap|Result: {{PMID|12345678|23456789|12344321}}}}

For leadouts different from the default "," this can be specified using the optional {{para|leadout}} parameter:

 {{nowrap|Call: <nowiki>{{PMID|12345678|23456789|12344321|leadout=and}}</nowiki>}}
 {{nowrap|Result: {{PMID|12345678|23456789|12344321|leadout=and}}}}

The template also supports plain links using the {{para|plainlink}} parameter:

 {{nowrap|Call: <nowiki>{{PMID|12345678|23456789|12344321|plainlink=yes}}</nowiki>}}
 {{nowrap|Result: {{PMID|12345678|23456789|12344321|plainlink=yes}}}}

 {{nowrap|Call: <nowiki>{{PMID|12345678|23456789|12344321|leadout=and|plainlink=yes}}</nowiki>}}
 {{nowrap|Result: {{PMID|12345678|23456789|12344321|leadout=and|plainlink=yes}}}}

===Full citation===
To generate full [[Template:Cite journal]] markup from a known PubMed abstract number, use [[User:Diberri|Diberri's]] [https://tools.wmflabs.org/citation-template-filling/cgi-bin/index.cgi Wikipedia template filling] tool which, for the example above, may yield something like:
:{{cite journal |author-last=Rubinstein |author-first=M. H. |title=A new granulation method for compressed tablets [proceedings] |journal=[[Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology]] |volume=28 Supplement |pages=67P |year=1976 |pmid=12345}}
