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.

Review Description
Delivering the most effective clinical therapy in acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL) is dependent on accurately making the diagnosis. The morphological diagnosis can be improved by detecting the presence of a specific chromosome translocation, the t(15;17)(q22;q21). This can be achieved using cytogenetics, RT-PCR, FISH and anti-PML monoclonal antibody. The optimal approach will be rapid, accurate and readily integrated into the routine haematology laboratory. Immunofluorescent detection of microparticulate PML protein fulfils these criteria, however, karyotyping will also detect the variant translocations and remains the 'gold-standard'.
