Table 3_Efficacy of transcranial magnetic stimulation for mild cognitive impairment: a sys

A systematic review and meta-analysis by Yongqiang Lin, uploaded on figshare in May 2026, evaluates the efficacy of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The analysis synthesizes results from 11 randomized controlled trials involving 532 participants, reporting pooled effect sizes for cognitive domains like global cognition, memory, and executive function. The dataset likely contains the aggregated statistical results from these trials.

Use Cases

• Evaluating the pooled effect of rTMS on global cognition based on MMSE and MoCA scores
• Analyzing improvements in verbal memory based on AVLT delayed recall and recognition outcomes
• Comparing intervention efficacy on executive function using Digit Span and Trail Making Test results
• Assessing methodological quality and risk of bias in RCTs for TMS interventions

Strengths

• Includes 11 randomized controlled trials with a total of 532 participants
• Reports specific pooled effect sizes (e.g., MD = 2.35 for MMSE) with 95% confidence intervals
• Follows PRISMA guidelines and uses standardized assessment tools (RoB 1, PEDro, GRADE)

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• The dataset is 17.8 KB, indicating a very limited scope likely containing summary tables only
