Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (diagnostic). The objectives are as follows:. To determine the diagnostic accuracy of transient elastography with CAP for diagnosis of moderate and severe hepatic steatosis in people with suspected NAFLD when compared with liver biopsy as reference standard. To achieve this, we will compare none/mild hepatic steatosis (S0 to S1) versus moderate/severe hepatic steatosis (S2 to S3); and none/mild/moderate hepatic steatosis (S0 to S2) versus severe hepatic steatosis (S3). Secondary objectives We aim to also identify the pooled sensitivity and specificity for the most common cut-off values of CAP for diagnosis of none/mild hepatic steatosis (S0 to S1) and moderate/severe hepatic steatosis (S2 to S3); or none/mild/moderate hepatic steatosis (S0 to S2) and severe hepatic steatosis (S3) in people with suspected NAFLD, and to explore potential sources of heterogeneity influencing the diagnostic test accuracy of CAP (see: Investigations of heterogeneity).
