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 effectiveness of autologous platelet concentrates (APCs) as adjuncts on accelerating orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) of the human subjects undergoing orthodontic treatment and to critically appraise the available literature. Five electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) were searched from 2000 up to May 2021 to retrieve eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating patients who underwent orthodontic treatment that involved OTM of maxillary and mandibular incisors and canines. All the enrolled cases were treated with APCs and had no local or systemic interfering factors. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the modified JADAD scale. The effect sizes were assessed using mean difference (MD). The heterogeneity analysis was conducted using (I 2 ) statistic at α=0.10. Finally, seven RCTs were included in the qualitative, and two RCTs were included in the quantitative analysis. The meta-analysis was performed regarding the effect of injectable platelet-rich fibrin (I-PRF) on the rate of canine tooth movement in millimeters at different intervals of the 1 st, 2 nd, and 3 rd months. In the 1 st month, I-PRF (WMD:0.12 mm, CI95% -5.01 to 5.24, I 2 = 90%) did not significantly affect OTM. In the 2 nd month, I-PRF (WMD:0.66 mm, CI95% 0.60 to 0.73, I 2 = 10%) significantly increased the OTM. However, in the 3 rd month, I-PRF did not significantly increase the OTM (WMD:0.54 mm, CI95% -1.38 to 2.47, I 2 = 67%). According to the low certainty of evidence about this topic, providing a definite conclusion is not possible. However, applying I-PRF seems to be efficient in accelerating the OTM of the canines. Further high-quality studies with larger sample sizes will be indispensable to validate this conclusion.
