Data Sheet 1_Chemotherapy-related cognitive impairment and non-pharmacological interventio

17 studies from a systematic review of 2,708 manuscripts, summarizing evidence for non-pharmacological neurostimulatory interventions on cognitive impairment in cancer survivors. The review was authored by Norbert Dosa and last updated in June 2026. The dataset is a 247 KB ZIP file containing the review materials.

Use Cases

• Meta-analysis of cognitive outcome measures based on the reported subjective and objective assessments.
• Evaluating study design quality based on the documented weaknesses like insufficient statistical power and lack of control groups.
• Identifying promising intervention types for further research based on the seven studies focusing specifically on CRCI.
• Assessing the evidence base for specific therapies like transcranial direct current stimulation or acupuncture mentioned in the results.

Strengths

• Structured extraction using the PICOS framework according to Cochrane recommendations.
• Risk of bias was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tool.
• Sourced from a systematic screening of five major databases (Embase, MEDLINE, PubMED, Scopus, and PsycINFO).

Limitations

• The underlying data files and their structure (e.g., columns, rows) are not described.
• The review itself notes the included studies had weaknesses like small sample sizes and biased designs.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
