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.


"We have used "Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis" for several large pediatric orthopaedic projects that have ranged in size from hundreds of patients to thousands of patients, and we have been nothing but pleased with the forest plots and other summary data."

Charles T Mehlman - Professor of Pediatrics and Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery, Division of Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center


"'Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis' lives up to its name by offering a range of options for analysis, at the same time doing so through a very user‐friendly interface. It has been invaluable to have a software option such as this during the course of my dissertation, and I am sure I will come back to CMA for future research also."
