Response and remission rates in those studies, which reported both response and remission rates (n = 9)
| rTMS | No response (n = 368) |
Response (n = 183) | Total (n = 551) |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Response without remission (n = 45) |

Risk Ratio (RR) and Numbers Needed to Treat (NNT) were calculated to show the difference between the active and the sham rTMS group
