parse_pmcid
Fetch and parse an open-access article from Europe PMC by its PMCID, merging main text and supplements into one source-tagged bundle. Use when you have a PMCID but no local manuscript file.
Instructions
CONVENIENCE entry point: retrieve an open-access article from Europe PMC by PMCID and parse it, main text plus PMC-hosted supplements, merged into one source-tagged bundle. Use it when you have no file in hand, or to auto-fetch an open-access paper's supplement; for a manuscript you were given, use parse_document.
supplement_status is 'retrieved' when a supplement was obtained, else 'not_retrieved' — a supplement may still exist on the publisher site, so absence of retrieval is never proof of absence. Raises if no open-access full text is available. An APA-style citation is built from the article's JATS metadata; pass citation= to override it.
