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 was interested in learning how to do a systematic review and meta‐analysis. I've done several courses but couldn't evolve to a complete analysis due to the limitations of available software. Then I became aware of "Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis". The program is very intuitive and the book "Introduction to Meta‐Analysis" is the most objective I've ever read in this topic. I have recommended to those interested in starting training in systematic review to begin by this book and software."

"I have conducted several meta‐analyses over the past several years, and Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis has been the main software I have relied on. It is "user friendly" and it provides a wide range of options to fit the different types of effect size information found in different types of studies. Most importantly, I know I can rely on the statistical formulas at the foundation of the software, due to the top‐notch development team for CMA."
