"I can confirm that comprehensive meta‐analysis is a very valuable tool for analyzing data. In one of my most important publications the use of forest plots constructed with Comprehensive Meta‐analysis has contributed to the success of this article. As a clinician my statistical background is not as strong as I would like it to be. However, using CMA is very straightforward and I was able to astonish my epidemiologist co‐author. I can recommend Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis to any clinical researcher."

"I have used Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis II for the last 6 years to assist with a number of published meta‐analytic studies in the behavioral sciences. I have found the program to be flexible and powerful. I have also used CMA II in two graduate seminars focused on meta‐analysis. The students are able to learn the program quickly and appreciate how it structures their data sets and prevents some common mistakes made in meta‐analysis."
