			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A long, long time ago when Compare Stuff was young I made a version which made it easy to do  <a href="http://compare-stuff.com/cgi-bin/pm">quantitative biomedical literature search analysis</a>.  I have now blown away the cobwebs, improved it a little (now you can compare 8 things) and will briefly demonstrate its genius&#8230;<br />
<span id="more-9"></span></p>
<p>Note that it still uses the old vertical graph style like the <a href="http://compare-stuff.com/cgi-bin/cs">legacy web version</a>, but it&#8217;s still quite easy to figure out what&#8217;s going on.</p>
<p>With it you can&#8230; compare trends in research activity:</p>
<p><a href="http://compare-stuff.com/cgi-bin/pm?Thing1=%282000%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Thing2=%282001%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Thing3=%282002%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Thing4=%282003%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Thing5=%282004%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Thing6=%282005%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Thing7=%282006%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Thing8=%282007%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Common=&#038;Quality=cancer&#038;Go=go&#038;AutoQuote=on&#038;Engine=PubMed&#038;Language=English&#038;NumThings=8&#038;Control=&#038;Clone=1" title='cancer.png'><img border=0 src='http://blog.compare-stuff.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/cancer.png' alt='cancer.png' /></a><a href="http://compare-stuff.com/cgi-bin/pm?Thing1=%282000%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Thing2=%282001%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Thing3=%282002%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Thing4=%282003%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Thing5=%282004%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Thing6=%282005%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Thing7=%282006%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Thing8=%282007%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Common=&#038;Quality=obesity&#038;Go=go&#038;AutoQuote=on&#038;Engine=PubMed&#038;Language=English&#038;NumThings=8&#038;Control=&#038;Clone=1" title='obesity.png'><img border=0 src='http://blog.compare-stuff.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/obesity.png' alt='obesity.png' /></a></p>
<p>Sad, but true, obesity research is on the increase while cancer research is steady or perhaps on the decline.</p>
<p>You can also compare techniques and places:</p>
<p><a href="http://compare-stuff.com/cgi-bin/pm?Thing1=%282000%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Thing2=%282001%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Thing3=%282002%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Thing4=%282003%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Thing5=%282004%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Thing6=%282005%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Thing7=%282006%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Thing8=%282007%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Common=&#038;Quality=RNAi&#038;Go=go&#038;AutoQuote=on&#038;Engine=PubMed&#038;Language=English&#038;NumThings=8&#038;Control=&#038;Clone=1" title='rnai.png'><img border=0 src='http://blog.compare-stuff.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/rnai.png' alt='rnai.png' /></a><a href="http://compare-stuff.com/cgi-bin/pm?Thing1=%282000%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Thing2=%282001%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Thing3=%282002%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Thing4=%282003%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Thing5=%282004%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Thing6=%282005%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Thing7=%282006%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Thing8=%282007%20%5BDP%5D%29&#038;Common=&#038;Quality=%28Tokyo%20%5BAD%5D%29&#038;Go=go&#038;AutoQuote=on&#038;Engine=PubMed&#038;Language=English&#038;NumThings=8&#038;Control=&#038;Clone=1" title='tokyo.png'><img border=0 src='http://blog.compare-stuff.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/tokyo.png' alt='tokyo.png' /></a></p>
<p>Or you can compare places with respect to research activity:</p>
<p><a href="http://compare-stuff.com/cgi-bin/pm?Thing1=%28Tokyo%20%5BAD%5D%29&#038;Thing2=%28Osaka%20%5BAD%5D%29&#038;Thing3=%28Sapporo%20%5BAD%5D%29&#038;Thing4=%28Kyoto%20%5BAD%5D%29&#038;Thing5=%28Kobe%20%5BAD%5D%29&#038;Thing6=&#038;Thing7=&#038;Thing8=&#038;Common=&#038;Quality=diabetes&#038;AutoQuote=on&#038;Engine=PubMed&#038;Language=English&#038;NumThings=5&#038;Control=&#038;Clone=1" title='cities.png'><img border=0 src='http://blog.compare-stuff.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/cities.png' alt='cities.png' /></a></p>
<p>Here is looks like Kobe and Osaka are better places to work on diabetes if you thrive on competition and discussion with colleagues.</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s only the beginning&#8230; you can look at trends across different diseases or types of cancer, different techniques, fields, authors, gene names&#8230; in fact anything you can think of (but remember that the numbers of &#8220;hits&#8221; should be large so that the stats are good).</p>
