Although subgroup comparison only reached near significance (p = 0.07), probably due to the limited number of included trials, the large difference and opposite direction of ES (e.g., SMD = -0.49 vs. 0.11; a negative ES indicates results in favor of rTMS) suggests that the targeted brain region may influence the therapeutic outcome of rTMS.
