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.


"Your software is very convenient and useful for systematic reviewers. I used this software to conduct Cochrane systematic review and also helped several postgraduates at University of Ottawa for their research on environmental toxicology and epidemiology. Their manuscripts were all accepted by the internal peer‐reviewed journals."

Senior Epidemiologist - Blood Safety Surveillance and Health Care, Acquired Infection Division Centre for Communicable Disease and Infection Control, Public Health Agency of Canada, Ottawa, ON


"(1) Working with your staff and the software itself made computer installation and start up incredibly easy. (2) Instructing my students (seniors in a capstone research intensive course) on how to use the software was also remarkably easy. They did far more with the software than I had expected and made some elegant looking figures for their senior presentations. (3) Meta‐analysis was a new technique for our whole department (PUI institution), and the oral presentations by my students using the CMA software and graphics impressed faculty immensely."
