We thank Harri for his comment. It is really sad to see that Harri is trying to disseminate his personal opinion (HANDLE) THOUGH A DETAILED PEER-REVIEWED REPORT IS AVAILABLE AT COCHRANE LIBRARY. We need to share the sequence of events here, so that, things can become more transparent. After our publication of the Cochrane review in 2011, Harri published another review on the same topic in Open Respiratory Medicine Journal in same year. He provided comment on our 2011 Cochrane review in 2012, which we incorporated in 2013 version of the Cochrane review. In 2015, Harri made a report on the Cochrane review 2013 version (not 2011 version, which is still available there) and complained to the Cochrane Editor (Whatever has been mentioned in the ABOVE HANDLE: http://hdl.handle.net/10138/153180, which is a PERSONAL OPINION AND NOT A PEER-REVIEWED CONTENT). The Cochrane editors made a detailed inquiry (INVOLVED AN INDEPENDENT STATISTICIAN) and made the recommendation to withdraw the review NOT BASED ON TEXT PLAGIARISM BUT BASED ON INCONCLUSIVE DATA ANALYSIS (Detail available at: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD001364.pub5/abstract;jsessionid=FCA801377C71E663B0004B9BBB92A908.f02t03). This report also mentions that we have acknowledged and cited his review (Hemilla 2011). But the irony is that the ABOVE HANDLE (Which contains DIRECT COPY OF THREE IMAGES/FIGURES FROM OUR PUBLICATION) IS BEING DISSEMINATED AS A PUBLICATION/REFERENCE TO SENT THE MESSAGE THAT WHAT HE HAS MENTIONED IS ENTIRELY RIGHT (BUT THE COCHRANE REPORT DOES NOT FULLY AGREE TO THIS). MOREOVER THE HANDLE IS STILL ACTIVE AFTER THE COCHRANE LIBRARY PUBLISHED THE REPORT AND REACHED THE CONCLUSION.
