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


"I have used Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis software within a course on research methods for doctoral students in nursing. With only a 90‐minute introduction, students were ready to begin data entry and to conduct basic analyses. Both they and I were pleased with its intuitive interface and with the clarity of its output. Additionally, Biostat, Inc. has provided excellent support in our efforts to employ the software in a classroom setting."
