In both the Single and Multiple Implant Studies databases, weighted averages are based on the number of pens per implant treatment. In the Pasture implant database, weighting is based on the number of animals per implant treatment. Further refinement of these weighted averages is possible by clicking on articles returned by the search and averaging only the selected articles. The existing database is in its infancy. New data are continually being summarized for input as they become available.
User input is vital to the success of the database.
Although, help information and tool tips are located throughout various the search forms, suggestions or comments from users for ways to improve the functionality of the database and articles that need to be included in the various sub-databases are greatly appreciated.
