"I am impressed with the ease or simplicity of the Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis, not only in data entry but also the data generated. Unlike some of the free software available for meta‐analysis, I found the Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis user‐friendly, generating clear graphs and effect sizes. I took a long time to work out some of the free software available by some of my colleagues and found them very userunfriendly, confusing, and the graphs generated not easy on the eye. After chancing on Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis during a Google search and having a go at it during the free trial, I was keen to get my hands on it and have recommended it to some of colleagues. It is definitely worth getting it as it makes meta‐analysis non‐daunting and non‐scary especially for students pursuing their Masters or PhDs."

"Although my centre develops the statistical software the whole Cochrane Collaboration uses for its systematic reviews and meta‐analyses (Review Manager), I have often used Comprehensive Meta‐ Analysis for my own research projects, as it is easy to import data from Excel, to use effect modifiers, and also because it allows meta‐regression and produces bubble graphs that are easy to work with in Word or PowerPoint."
