PubMed has a built-in discovery tool called Similar Articles (formerly labeled Related Citations). This feature appears below each reference on a list of results as well as on the abstract view page for a reference. The name was changed to make this feature clearer to users. It’s a useful tool to be aware of, especially for those tough searches that don’t yield a sufficient number of results. See the screenshots below for examples of what you can expect to see in PubMed.

As always, if you’re having trouble with your research or finding references, we’re here to help so choose ones of the many ways to Ask Us!
