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.


"One of the hardest things for non‐statisticians conducting meta‐analyses is to figure out how to combine data when the data are in different forms. Using continuous outcome as an example, one study might report before‐and‐after scores, and another might report change scores. Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis allows one to take data in any form and seamlessly converts it so that all the data can be included, or tells the meta‐analyst what additional information is necessary to complete the process. This one aspect of the program can save hours of time for non‐statisticians who are not used to converting data from one format to another."

Ian Shrier - McGill University, Canada


"Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software is a user-friendly advanced program that assists researchers and academics to synthesize various and multiple primary studies on a specific area of interest. Also, a very well written book accompanies the software that guides even junior investigators step-by-step. Mathematics are well explained using simple language. It can be used as an encyclopedia for getting answers to every day questions. CMA outperforms any other software. It is a must-have and use for every researcher."
