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’ve been using Comprehensive meta‐analysis for some time now and I find it a very user‐friendly and indeed comprehensive software when compared to other software. Some meta analysis functions are present in the latest version of NCSS (Number Cruncher Statistical System), but much less, as this is a more general statistical package; specific meta analysis software like Revman and MIX are less easy to use. Especially in combination with the online course on meta analysis of Michael Borenstein, this software can be warmly recommended without reservation."

"I have now used Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis in five meta‐analyses and highly recommend it. Its structure and accompanying resources particularly assist researchers with clinical rather than statistical backgrounds to avoid important errors in data entry and analysis. Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis enables meta‐analysis methods recommended by leading statisticians and meta‐analysts to be used by researchers internationally."
