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.


"Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis program is relatively easy to use even for the statistic‐phobes. Directions are easy to follow and guide you through the set‐up of your data. The program makes a seemingly complex process fairly straightforward."

E. Carol Polifroni, EdD, CNE, NEA‐BC, RN - Associate Professor, University of Connecticut School of Nursing


"I have been using Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis for more than 3 years and have finished a dozen metaanalysis with this software. The biggest advantage is easy to perform and manage the analysis. Studies can be added or removed from the analysis without modifying the data. There are a variety of effect size measures, including treatment difference, odds ratios, rate differences, correlations, etc. The diagnosis and transformation of the effect size is just one click away. The high‐quality forest plot and comprehensive meta‐regression distinguished this software from others."
