Comprehensive Meta-Analysis

“I have really enjoyed using the CMA software. Comprehensive Meta-Analysis makes performing a meta-analysis incredibly straightforward. There are numerous options for data analysis and presentation of results.  The software was easy to learn, the tutorials were truly useful, and the staff at CMA were always helpful. My meta-analysis using your software has recently been published – Calcif Tissue Int. 2010 Sep;87(3):193-202. Epub 2010 Jun 15.”

“I first encountered Comprehensive Meta-Analysis in an online course in the basics of the statistical technique.  The software was intuitive and easy to learn, and it has features that go well beyond the basics. The ability to handle multiple types of data and the comprehensive set of analyses available should satisfy even the most demanding research requirements.”

“I have used Comprehensive Meta-Analysis since I was a student and it has been the basis for dozens of meta-analysis publications since then. The strengths of the software include its intuitive approaches to statistical issues, ease of use, and clear presentation of the data. Journals appreciate that important changes in figures can be made rapidly and clearly. This has also been an excellent tool for teaching students and colleagues about conducting meta-analysis - students enjoy the clarity of presentation and ease of use. With all the ease of use, it is important to note that the software allows a variety of statistical approaches that may be difficult to implement in other software, from choices of meta-regression effects to presentations of heterogeneity. For my group, this software is indispensable.”

“Comprehensive Meta-Analysis program is relatively easy to use even for the statistic-phobes. Directions are easy to follow and guide you through the set-up of your data. The program makes a seemingly complex process fairly straightforward.”

“It is a pleasure to recommend Comprehensive Meta-Analysis. It is dependable, educational and easy to use software that we use often for research and teaching. Using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis is very helpful in my research. Moreover, I have become aware of several new procedures and caveats. Using the software is a beautiful way to understand and build skills and a great teaching tool. It should be used by any epidemiologist who is interested in meta- analysis.”
