"The program in Comparative Effectiveness and Outcomes Research at Duke University conducts multiple systematic reviews and meta‐analyses each year for professional organizations as well as under both federal and industry sponsored research initiatives. While we use various programs tailored for specific individual projects including those developed in‐house, we have found Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis (CMA) to be a very facile, adaptable and yet comprehensive package meeting the needs for much of our research and generating publication‐quality graphics. My confidence in the analytic algorithms is buoyed by my knowledge of several of the developers of CMA and based on extensive comparison of results with other algorithms including our own. CMA is also an exceptional educational tool and universally embraced by trainees and young investigators initiating careers in evidence‐based medicine and statistical analysis."

"I've used CMA for years now as a researcher and teacher. It is uncommon to see a program that is so full‐featured yet easy enough to use that you can pick it up in an afternoon. The calculations are spoton and the images are sharp enough for use in publication. I recommend the software to all of my students and colleagues who are performing meta‐analysis."
