Sir, I read with interest the article “Yakson touch as a part of early intervention in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: A systematic narrative review” by Parashar et al. published in the June 2016 issue of the Indian Journal of Critical Care Medicine.[1] The authors say it is a “systematic narrative review” which in itself is a contradiction. A review can be systematic or narrative but not both. A systematic review uses preplanned scientific methods to identify, select, critically appraise, and synthesize results from similar but separate studies. Stages of a systematic review are therefore: Formulation of a question, search for relevant data, extraction of data, assessment of the quality of the data, and synthesis. The PICOS framework, i.e., Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcomes, and Study Designs[2] has not been used for defining the review question.[2] The authors have not described any of these steps in their methodology. Hence, this is a traditional narrative review. Authors should desist from using loosely, terms which have specific and explicit definitions.
