Web-Based Visualization of MeSH-Based PubMed/MEDLINE Statistics

摘要

Statistical analysis of Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) descriptors to improve biomedical literature search is an active research area. Existing tools have limited interactive visualizations that are accessible to researchers investigating how their hypotheses compare to trends in the research literature. We present a web application that computes and provides an interactive visualization of basic frequencies and co-occurrence statistics of MeSH descriptors associated with a PubMed query.
