I plan to perform systematic review and I need to establish databases that will be searched for. I found that majority of researchers screen for two databases (PubMed and Medline). According to NIH website PubMed gives more results and additionally includes those from Medline:

The question is whether it makes sense to search for Medline database?

PubMed has been available since 1996. Its more than 27 million references include the MEDLINE database plus the following types of citations.
got answer?
Yes... its logical, but I still cannot find a rationale for searching Medline and Pubmed in the same review what many people do...
I guess the main difference is in the tools you can use for searching. PubMed has wider content (including Medline ) but Medline has way more precise advanced options for searching the articles you can mention in your review.
PubMed is a free search engine accessing primarily the MEDLINE database of references and abstracts on life sciences and biomedical topics. The United States National Library of Medicine (NLM) at the National Institutes of Healthmaintains the database as part of the Entrez system of information retrieval.

hello
In addition to PubMed, you can also access MEDLINE through an EBSCO interface and an ISI interface. All of them access the same database (MEDLINE), but each has different capabilites, and will provide a different user experience. In other words, "PubMed is one way to access MEDLINE."

Thank you,
I've found a quite nice comparisons in meantime
