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
As the role of natural compounds in reducing cardiovascular risk factors is of interest to researchers, this study was conducted to determine the effect of boiled garlic and Shirazi lemon on blood lipids. This quasi-experimental study was conducted on patients with hyperlipidemia. Twenty-eight hyperlipidemic patients were randomly selected and evaluated for the effect of boiled garlic and Shirazi lemon on blood lipids. Ten cc of boiled garlic and Shirazi lemon was consumed by the patients in each meal for three weeks. Then, the intervention was repeated after a wash-out period of one week. Blood lipids were measured pre-intervention as well as three and seven weeks later. The intervention reduced blood lipid levels significantly (p < 0.001). Moreover, mean levels of High Density Lipoprotein decreased three weeks post-intervention and increased significantly post-intervention compared to pre-intervention levels (p = 0.037). Considering the effects of boiled garlic and Shirazi lemon on the reduction of cholesterol, triglyceride, and Low Density Lipoprotein as well as on the increase of High Density Lipoprotein levels, the use of this decoction is recommended for hyperlipidemia treatment.
