A new banner on PubMed about the (potential lack of) updating.

Some recent papers have been posted but it is not clear if some are missing.

I will be tracking this going forward.
New Banner on PubMed Because of a lapse in government funding, the information on this website may not be up to date, transactions submitted via the website may not be processed, and the agency may not be able to respond to inquiries until appropriations are enacted. The NIH Clinical Center (the research hospital of NIH) is open. For more details about its operating status, please visit cc.nih.gov. Updates regarding government operating status and resumption of normal operations can be found at opm.gov.
