Comprehensive Meta-Analysis

software image

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.


"CMA is an incredible software package for the novice and experienced researcher alike. It offers a sophisticated array of analytical techniques, yet retains the flexibility to adapt to your specific application. The interface is intuitive and user‐friendly, and frees the user to focus on the analysis rather than the software. I use CMA in my graduate biostatistics course and recommend it to all of my faculty colleagues as well. The software is a joy to use!"

Dr. Michael W. Hubble - Associate Professor, Graduate and Distance Program, Director, Emergency Medical Care Program, Western Carolina University, Cullowhee, NC


"Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis v.2 is the definitive leading software for computing, presenting and analysing results of meta‐analyses. The programme provides beginners as well as advanced researchers meta‐analysis opportunities, unmatched by competing programmes. Computing effect sizes, combining across various types of outcomes, conducting moderators analyses, and presenting these rather complex analyses in less than five stages, could not have been more user‐friendly."
