Comprehensive Meta-Analysis

Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) is a powerful computer program for meta-analysis. The program combines ease of use with a wide array of computational options and sophisticated graphics.


"Your software is very convenient and useful for systematic reviewers. I used this software to conduct Cochrane systematic review and also helped several postgraduates at University of Ottawa for their research on environmental toxicology and epidemiology. Their manuscripts were all accepted by the internal peer‐reviewed journals."

Senior Epidemiologist - Blood Safety Surveillance and Health Care, Acquired Infection Division Centre for Communicable Disease and Infection Control, Public Health Agency of Canada, Ottawa, ON


"Comprehensive meta‐analysis is so easy to use that a clinician feels absolutely comfortable with it. You only need to have the results from individual studies and follow instructions: you will have calculations and graphs in a way that you can easily interpret. With this software meta‐analysis is not arcane any more: if you can read papers based on this statistical technique you will be able to write them as well."
