Metric Options: CountsSelecting 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
Evidence-based analysis of the influence of lymph node dissection on the prognosis of colorectal cancer patients is complicated by the now well-established multimodal treatment strategies. In addition surgical quality criteria, such as exact preparation along the mesenterial fascia and avoiding tears have a major influence on the prognosis. Nevertheless, the overall evidence for the need of lymph node dissection in the treatment of colorectal carcinoma is high. However, there are still some questions remaining concerning the extent of pericolic lymph node dissection, inclusion of the lymph nodes along the greater curvature of the stomach and the inferior aspect of the left pancreas in carcinomas of the transverse colon and the flexures. In particular the definitive central ligation of the supplying arteries in right-sided colon carcinoma is not adequately implemented worldwide. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2012.
