Table legend: MCI-TMS, patients with mild cognitive impairment who underwent TMS; MCI-C, patients with mild cognitive impairment who underwent sham TMS; Adj-p, p-value corrected for multiple comparisons (Benjamini–Hochberg procedure). Story Memory-IR or -DR, story memory immediate/delayed recall; BDI-II, Beck Depression Inventory II scale; BAI, Beck Anxiety Inventory; AES, Apathy Evaluation Scale. Between-group comparison, Quade’s rank analysis (baseline scores as covariate). Data reported as median (25th, 75th percentile) or count (percentage). Statistically significant differences are shown in bold.
