26292403

26292403 is a numeric identifier used by PubMed, the biomedical literature database maintained by the U.S. National Library of Medicine. It represents a PubMed unique identifier (PMID) that uniquely references a single record within PubMed, enabling precise retrieval and citation of the corresponding article or item in the database.

PMIDs are assigned sequentially as articles are indexed. They are commonly used in scholarly references alongside DOIs and other identifiers. A PubMed record for 26292403 can be accessed at https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26292403, where the page would display bibliographic details such as the title, authors, journal name, year of publication, abstract, MeSH terms, and links to full text when available.

Because PMIDs identify records rather than content, the entry for 26292403 does not by itself convey the article’s conclusions, quality, or topic beyond what is recorded in the PubMed entry. It serves primarily as a stable pointer to the record, which may include related items, corrections, or comments.

PMIDs are used in indexing, search, and citation management. They are not the same as DOIs; many articles have both identifiers. PubMed provides features for advanced searching, cross-referencing to related records, and options to export metadata for reference management.
