<h2>Why Mesh Category Graph?</h2>
<p>When you search <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed">PubMed</a>, the majority of the results you get back are indexed in <a href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/factsheets/medline.html">MEDLINE</a>.
A big part of that indexing process is assigning each article around 10 to 12 <a href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/2016/mesh_browser/index.html">Medical Subject Headings</a>.This vast system
is organized into a hierarchical structure, descending from <a href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/disted/meshtutorial/meshtreestructures/">16 top-level categories</a>.</p>
<p>MeSH Category Graph takes a MEDLINE search and shows how the concepts in your results stack up against these categories. For each search you'll see <em>two</em> graphs — one showing percentages compared to those for
all of MEDLINE and another showing relative proportion. Once you have completed at least two searches, you can compare the proportions of one search against another.</p>
<p>It is instructive to see where the proportions for a given search land. For example, a search for "medicine" returns results where the proportion of MeSH headings in each category is roughly
the same as for MEDLINE as a whole. A search for "taxes" on the other hand involves a much greater proportion of "Health Care" than average, and a lot less "Diseases". Articles about the gene "p53" are much more
likely to focus on concepts under "Chemicals and Drugs" or "Phenomena and Processes", and so on.</p>

<h2>Technologies</h2>
<p>MeSH Category Graph is lashed together with bailing wire and and <a href="http://jquery.com/">jQuery</a>. It utuilizes NCBI's <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK25501/">Entrez Programming Utilities</a> for searching
PubMed and <a href="https://developers.google.com/chart/">Google Charts</a> for visualizing the graphs. Responsive layout made easier with <a href="http://getbootstrap.com/">Bootstrap</a>.</p>
