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
To evaluate the gustatory function before and after vestibular schwannoma (VS) surgery. In this retrospective study, we evaluated the gustatory function of 12 patients who underwent VS surgery at Tsukuba University Hospital between 2012 and 2018. Gustatory function was examined using electrogustometry before VS surgery and 3 months, 6 months and 1 year after surgery. Electrogustometry was tested at the area mapped to the chorda tympani nerve, glossopharyngeal nerve and greater superficial petrosal nerve (GSPN). Intergroup mean comparisons of the threshold were performed using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by the Bonferroni post-hoc test. The gustatory function mapped to the chorda tympani nerve was significantly disturbed 6 months after the surgery as compared with the preoperative function (p = 0.033) and that the dysfunction recovered at 1 year. However, gustatory function mapped to the glossopharyngeal nerve and greater superficial petrosal nerve (GSPN) was not impaired. The gustatory function mapped to the chorda tympani nerve is impaired after surgery for VS. The dysfunction peaked at 6 months after surgery, and recovered within 1 year.
