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 have been using CMA as a researcher and I am really impressed by its user‐friendly applicability and unique, sophisticated features. Developed by a team of recognized experts in the field, this excellent, powerful program offers the opportunity even to a beginner to conceive and apply the principles of meta‐analysis very quickly and accurately. I recommend the software without any hesitation to my students and colleagues, who are interested to perform any kind of meta‐analysis."

"I have used Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis software within a course on research methods for doctoral students in nursing. With only a 90‐minute introduction, students were ready to begin data entry and to conduct basic analyses. Both they and I were pleased with its intuitive interface and with the clarity of its output. Additionally, Biostat, Inc. has provided excellent support in our efforts to employ the software in a classroom setting."
