"My experience with Comprehensive Meta‐analysis is highly positive. The spreadsheet interfaces for data entry are very intuitive. They handle an astonishing wide array of indices and formats for effect sizes, including the possibility of entering them in the spreadsheet by copy‐and‐paste. The exploratory phase is easily performed thanks to a variety of facilities, as cumulative meta‐analysis, sensitivity analysis by the “one‐study‐removed” procedure, and subgroup analysis, among others. It covers all basic fixed and random effect models and provides high‐quality graphical outputs for reports. The tutorial and the manual are really helpful and friendly. In short, Comprehensive Meta‐analysis is my favorite tool both for performing and teaching meta‐analysis."

"I have used Comprehensive Meta‐analysis as the primary course software for a doctoral‐level course on systematic review and meta‐analysis methods which I have taught at Columbia University. The software, documentation, and tutorial materials have made the teaching and learning of meta‐analysis methods stimulating, efficient, and enjoyable. While the methods of meta‐analysis can be daunting to students, this program and supporting materials provide clear guidance and hands‐on experience which greatly enrich the learning process. Based on my experience I think that Comprehensive Meta‐analysis should be required in any course dealing with the subject."
