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 bought the CMA software for professional perpetual version at the beginning of this year, and we have used it to do meta-analyses for several studies and trained the postgraduate students already. The friendly spreadsheet, easy-understandable dialog, not programming and modifiable output style make use of the software to do a meta-analysis convenient. The most fabulous point is that it can extend the traditional comparison of two groups to estimation of effect size in one group and generic point estimates. In summary, this software is an efficient and user-friendly tool for scientists to do a study related to meta-analysis."

"Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis (CMA) is a must‐have tool for academic instructors, researchers, and statisticians alike. Developed by a strong team of highly recognized experts in the field, CMA meets all of your meta‐analysis needs and is easy to teach and easy to use. I would not attempt to ever conduct another meta‐analysis without using the CMA program, for the difference is between heaven and earth!"
