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.


"I have really enjoyed using the CMA software. Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis makes performing a metaanalysis incredibly straightforward. There are numerous options for data analysis and presentation of results. The software was easy to learn, the tutorials were truly useful, and the staff at CMA were always helpful. My meta‐analysis using your software has recently been published – Calcif Tissue Int. 2010 Sep;87(3):193‐202. Epub 2010 Jun 15."

Dr. Emily Dodwell, MD, FRCSC - Clinical Fellow, Orthopedic Surgery, Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto


"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."
