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
Objective To evaluate the effects of the botulinum toxin (BTX-A) on muscle tone and joint mobility in children with congenital Zika syndrome (CZS). Methods This was a longitudinal case series carried out in a Support Center for Children with Microcephaly, located in Northeastern Brazil. We collected data from the institution s medical records, containing information about muscle tone and passive joint mobility measured at least 3 months before and 4 weeks after BTX-A application. Results We evaluated 13 children (9 boys) with a mean age of 77 7.1 months. After BTX-A application, a bilateral reduction in the hypertonia level was observed in the elbow flexor (0.01) and hip abductor (0.05) muscles. Conclusion No changes were observed in joint mobility and no adverse effects were reported by caregivers after application. The use of BTX-A can reduce hypertonia in CZS children, with no impact on joint mobility.
