Cognitive training for breast cancer patients with cancer-related cognitive impairment: a scoping review.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThis scoping review investigates the role of cognitive training in addressing cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) in breast cancer patients, examining study characteristics and outcomes, and identifying significant gaps in the existing body of evidence.
methodsThis scoping review adhered to the JBI methodology and followed the PRISMA statement for scoping reviews. A systematic search was conducted across 12 electronic databases, including both English and Chinese databases as well as grey literature sources. Data extraction was performed independently by two reviewers.
resultsA total of 26 studies were included, comprising 19 randomized controlled trials, 1 single-arm open-label interventional study, 1 phase I/II dose-escalation trial, 3 quasi-experimental studies, 1 qualitative study, and 1 mixed-methods study. Cognitive training interventions varied in delivery methods, targeting memory, executive function, attention, and processing speed. Intervention details such as duration and intensity were highly variable, and monitoring adherence was infrequently reported. Cognitive training demonstrated positive effects on short-term cognitive function, with 23 studies reporting improvements. Long-term effects were limited.
conclusionCognitive training may improve cognitive function in breast cancer patients with CRCI. Heterogeneity in interventions and limited long-term data constrain generalizability. Standardizing key components, assessing long-term effects, and exploring underlying mechanisms can inform targeted, personalized interventions.
