ECT dataset details were from Voineskos et al., 2016 [35] and further correspondence. MST dataset details were from Daskalakis et al., 2020 [36] and further correspondence. Remission rate was calculated as a percentage of the included patients in our analysis from the cohort that showed equal or larger than 50% decrease in symptom severity.
