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
A large number of studies have reported the relationships between leptin levels and diabetes or obesity. However, the results are still controversial, and no consensus has been reached. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to collect data from various databases to perform a meta-analysis and address the inconsistencies in these studies. A systematic literature search was conducted on PubMed, Web of Science, and EBSCO for relevant available articles. The pooled standard mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to estimate the association by a meta-analysis. Fifteen reports with 1,388 cases and 3,536 controls were chosen for the meta-analysis. First, an increase in leptin levels in serum (SMD 0.69; 95% CI 0.36–1.02 ng/mL) and plasma (SMD 0.46; 95% CI 0.18–0.74 ng/mL) was observed in individuals with diabetes compared to controls. This increased level was also observed by gender and population. Second, statistical analysis showed that leptin levels in serum were significantly increased in individuals with obesity (SMD 1.03; 95% CI 0.72–1.34 ng/mL). This meta-analysis analyzed leptin in individuals with diabetes or obesity and emphasized the importance of monitoring serum/plasma leptin levels in patients with these diseases. However, more comprehensive studies are necessary in order to draw firm conclusions.
