Why are my PubMed full-text downloads not working for certain articles?

PubMed full-text downloads may not work for articles that are not open-access. This Skill only retrieves links from open-access sources like Europe PMC, CORE, and PubMed Central, meaning paywalled articles will lack full-text links.
