Heterogeneity standard deviation (τ2) has been estimated using the methods of moments and is reported only for comparisons for which is estimable and larger than 0. CI: Confidence interval; HF: high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation; LF: low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation; SMD: standardized mean difference.
