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 can confirm that comprehensive meta‐analysis is a very valuable tool for analyzing data. In one of my most important publications the use of forest plots constructed with Comprehensive Meta‐analysis has contributed to the success of this article. As a clinician my statistical background is not as strong as I would like it to be. However, using CMA is very straightforward and I was able to astonish my epidemiologist co‐author. I can recommend Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis to any clinical researcher."

"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."
