    Poor article.

    The methodology employed is not explained. Subjects? inclusion/exclusion criteria for papers used? search strategy? How was evidence systematically reviewed? Assessment of included studies quality? Strengths and weaknesses of included studies? Further questions and research required?

    This paper can not claim to be a systematic review as it currently reported. The quality of the conclusions can not be evaluated, thus its findings do not add to the current body of knowledge.
