I use Endnote X9 on PC, and am trying to cite clinical trials from https://clinicaltrials.gov/.

I downloaded and saved the clinicaltrials filter for endnote. I downloaded the relevant file as plain text from clinicaltrials.gov, and imported it to Endnote. But I cannot find it in my Endnote library. No error message appears either.

I basically followed this tutorial step by step,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVn9QjQRNF0

Two observations,

1. My page from the Clinicaltrials website (screenshot below) seems different than the one shown in the video at 0:32.

2. The downloaded plain text file in the tutorial (shown at 2:16) seems to have way more details than mine, which only shows NCT number.

But the problem is, when I try to download a relevant file for a clinical trial (no matter ongoing or completed trial), I see this message,

'''Data Fields

Currently only NCTId field is available to download for Text format''.

I suspect this is the problem, but any idea how to go around it?

thanks
