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
From 1955 through 1966, metastatic carcinoma of lymph nodes of the neck was diagnosed in 1 101 patients by cytologic study of aspirate obtained by fine-needle biopsy. The primary tumours were located above the clavicle in 522 patients (47.4 % and below this level in 529 (48.0 % The primary tumour remained unknown in 50 patients (4.5 % The cytologic diagnosis of metastasis was the first confirmation of malignancy in 382 patients (34.7 % In the first month thereafter, no primary tumour was found in 133 of these patients (12.1 % of the series). The diagnosis was unknown at death in 79 patients (7.2 % In a five-year follow-up of 656 consecutively examined patients the survival rate varied considerably, depending on the site of the primary tumour. The calculated five-year survival rate for the total series was 25.2% Comparisons between the cytologic reports and subsequent histologic studies of the same lymph nodes were made in 257 cases. In 17 cases (6.6 % a false negative cytologic report was given. © 1971 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
