See below, but 
IIRC, my script does it in two requests with this being the fetch,

https://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?tool=biotechmarchywka&email=marchywka@hotmail.com&rettype=medline&retmode=text&retstart=0&retmax=1&db=pubmed&query_key=1&WebEnv=MCID_63951073a293d76eb91c7f17

Thanks. Actually this is what I should try first but I checked the 
file and wget could not find the server ?!?!?!?. I have noticed
several times lately that the pubmed links seem to be slow
and go to the fetchpage handlers instead of using eutils but I
don't usually check. WTH it would have DNS problems is beyond me-
in the past the PMCID was not found on very recent articles
so I assumed it may just be flakey at the NCBI. 

But, this last run worked and one design feature was to include
unused fields like "PT" as a comment and this what happened here,

abstract = {OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate the clinical value of tenofovir combined with recombinant human interferon alpha-2b in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B and to provide evidence-based medicine for its popularization and use. METHODS: The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of tenofovir combined with recombinant human interferon alpha-2b in the online database of PubMed, EMBASE, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, China knowledge Network (CNKI), China VIP database, Wanfang database, and China Biomedical Literature Database (CBM) were searched. The data included in this study were extracted by two independent researchers. After extracting the data of the study, the Cochrane manual 5.1.0 standard was used to evaluate the bias risk of all the literature included in this study. RevMan5.4 statistical software was used to analyze the collected data by meta. RESULTS: Entecavir combined with recombinant human interferon alpha-2b can inhibit the activity of HBV polymerase and improve the inflammatory response of the liver. Recombinant human interferon alpha-2b can regulate immune function by inducing T cell differentiation and maturation and enhancing the production of cytokines. The systematic evaluation showed that entecavir combined with recombinant human interferon alpha-2b had higher serum HBeAg negative conversion rate, higher drug safety compared with entecavir alone, and improved liver function and immune status. CONCLUSION: Tenofovir combined with recombinant human interferon alpha-2b has a high serum HBeAg negative rate and safety profile for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B. The combination treatment can improve liver function and immune status in patients, but more studies with higher methodological quality and longer duration of intervention are needed for further validation.},

I modified the code to deal with the "PT" field however.
Now it includes it in the bibtex although the phst field should have
a date retract entry :) ,

You link worked right away, no idea why mine are having DNS and https
errors to their server. I am using lynx or wget.
