"We had no knowledge on meta‐analyses and were somewhat confused by the number of programs available. Most of them were not easy to use, not insightful and required a priori knowledge of metaanalyses statistics. There was one exception: Comprehensive Meta‐analysis. We downloaded the software and went through the easy‐to‐use tutorial. Within an hour we were performing our own metaanalysis! Our analysis was verified by our statistical department with excellent results, giving us further confidence to continue our analysis and resulting in an excellent paper in the top journal on pain research: Niesters et al., Do Sex Differences Exist in Opioid Analgesia? A Systematic Review and Meta‐ Analysis of Human Experimental and Clinical Studies. Pain, 2010, in press, doi:10.1016/j.pain.2010.06.012."

"CMA has been the vehicle to get me started with my PhD! A meta‐analysis is the optimal starting point, as it allows you to clearly see the state‐of‐the‐art in your field and pose new questions. CMA, with its self‐explanatory, user‐friendly platform is the kind of software you would hope to be using for your meta‐analyses! Now my students are starting off their journeys in research by performing a metaanalysis using CMA!"
