Stendell-Hollis et al. (2010): Green tea improves metabolic biomarkers, not weight or body composition: a pilot study in overweight breast cancer survivors +
Measures of central tendency were computed and frequencies and distributions produced for demographic and clinical characteristics of the study participants and checked for missing values, normalcy and outliers, where appropriate, using the Shapiro–Wilk statistic for the normality test and pearson’s chi-square test for skewness and kurtosis. +
Stephenson et al. (2000): The Effects of Foot Reflexology on Anxiety and Pain in Patients With Breast and Lung Cancer. +

n for ITT: 243, only for tests between THC/Cannabis extract vs. Placebo
n for PP: 80, tests between THC vs. Cannabis extract

Chi-square tests; Kaplan-Meier analyses; Cox proportional hazard models +
Sun et al. (2016): A prospective study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral acetyl-L-carnitine for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy +
Independent sample t-tests or Wilcoxon tests were used to compare continuous variables between groups, and paired t-test or Wilcoxon tests were used for comparison within groups. For the categorical variable analysis, a χ<sup>2</sup> test or exact test were used for comparisons between groups. The Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel-χ2 test was used to analyze ordinal categorical data. Data were presented as the mean±standard deviation. P<0.05 was considered to indicate a significantly significant result. +

Tan et al. (2018): Bromelain has significant clinical benefits after extraction of the third molar during chemotherapy in patients with hematologic tumor +
All participants analysed; no drop-outs +

Urashima et al. (2019): Effect of Vitamin D Supplementation on Relapse-Free Survival Among Patients With Digestive Tract Cancers The AMATERASU Randomized Clinical Trial +
All patients who underwent randomization were included in the analysis;
Relapse- and death-related outcomes were assessed according to randomization arm whether or not supplements were taken, whereas adverse events were assessed only in patients who continued to take the supplements (per protocol) +
Uthaipaisanwong et al. (2020): Effects of ginger adjunct to the standard prophylaxis on reducing carboplatin and paclitaxel-induced nausea vomiting: a randomized controlled study +
All statistical analyses were performed using STATA version 15.1. P values less than 0.05 were considered significant. Demographic data of all participants were analyzed by using mean, 95%CI, and percentage.
Nausea score from day 1 to day 5 was showed in mean, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) for a 2 × 2 crossover study was analyzed comparing treatment, sequence, and period effect.
Nausea grading for each day was compared using proportion f grading between treatment after adjusted sequence and period by using random-effects ordered logistic regression.
Vomiting and side effects were analyzed by comparing percentages between groups using random-effects logistic regression. +

Event-free survival, time to second primary tumor, and survival curves were constructed by the Kaplan–Meier technique and were compared by the log-rank test. The interaction between the effects of N-acetylcysteine and those of retinyl palmitate was tested with a proportional hazards model. Also, analyses of four arms were performed. +
