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
Retained common duct stones can now be treated by a number of non‐operative techniques, including dissolution by cholesterol solvents, simple irrigation, stone extraction via the T tube tract and by endoscopic sphincterotomy. This paper reviews the various solvents available for stone dissolution and its physicochemical basis. When a retained stone is found simple irrigation with saline will be successful in about 50 per cent of patients. If this fails, stone extraction via the T tube tract or by endoscopic sphincterotomy are now the methods of choice, with a 90—95 per cent chance of success. Stone dissolution by cholic acid is slow and is only successful in about 60 per cent of patients but can be of value when stone extraction is unavailable or unsuccessful.
