"I was interested in learning how to do a systematic review and meta‐analysis. I've done several courses but couldn't evolve to a complete analysis due to the limitations of available software. Then I became aware of "Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis". The program is very intuitive and the book "Introduction to Meta‐Analysis" is the most objective I've ever read in this topic. I have recommended to those interested in starting training in systematic review to begin by this book and software."

"I recently used Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis on a large and complex data set involving several different outcome variables, several different research designs, and hundreds of effect sizes. I found the program easy to use and very powerful. Moderator analyses were easy to conduct, as were examinations of potential publication/selection biases. The user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate. It is a wonderful tool!"
