Comprehensive Meta-Analysis

software image

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.


"CMA is very easy to use. That’s partly because of the manual and tutorial which take you through the analysis step by step. It’s also extremely versatile in terms of the type of input data it will accept (which is really valuable because with a meta‐analysis you have to take what data you can get). The output is comprehensive enough to permit you to interpret your effects, not merely report them."

Dr. Marie Blackmore - Research Coordinator, The Centre for Cerebral Palsy, Mount Lawley, WA, Australia


"I absolutely loved this program. Without it, I don't know how I would have gotten this series of metaanalyses done, let alone published (see attached). Very easy to use, many great features, and lots of support from you all (i.e., the emails about updates, training opportunities, etc.)."
