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.


"CMA is a very useful and friendly software that has being used both as an auxiliary tool for my papers preparation, and as the program elected for the analysis that I usually do with my students in order to train them in this field of meta‐analysis. In brief, this is a very well‐conceived statistical analysis software, useful for trainees in statistical analysis as well as for senior researchers."

"I've been using different versions of the comprehensive meta‐analysis software over many years for my research. Each version improved significantly, added new and important features, and made the visual outcomes easier to comprehend and present. One such improvement, for example, was the addition of moderater analysis for both categorical and continuous variables. It provides an easily understood menu that guides the user toward a correct statistical analysis. I also find the manual very useful and supportive, recommend it to my graduate students to use it for self‐teaching learning."
