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.

Artifact Description
Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune rheumatic disease with the highest mortality rate amongst autoimmune connective tissue diseases. The disease causes symptoms such as inflammation within the dermis and other organs. Adipocytes are fat cells which aid in the progression of SSc by regulating the immune system and metabolic pathways. C1q/TNF-Related Protein 3 (CTRP3) and C1q/TNF-Related Protein 9 (CTRP9) are adipokines that act as anti-inflammatory proteins. Currently, there are no biomarkers which are used to diagnose the progression of SSc, but due to the anti-inflammatory properties of CTRP3 and CTRP9, they are potential biomarkers to the progression of SSc. This study indicates that patients with SSc and lung fibrosis had elevated CTRP9 levels compared to healthy individuals. CTRP9 could potentially be used as a diagnostic biomarker to indicate whether a patient has SSc or interstitial lung disease.
