Unindexed PubMed Record

caption
An unindexed record from PubMed is shown above.  You can tell that this record is not yet a MEDLINE record because there is no "[Indexed for MEDLINE]" note under the PMID .  The arrow in the figure indicates the position at which such a note would appear if present.   
Records lacking the "[Indexed for MEDLINE]" note are either:
  • Pre-MEDLINE records 
  • Records for items in publications not indexed by MEDLINE.
