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.


"Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis is the premier program for conducting meta‐ analyses. It has incredible flexibility in including many different types of effect sizes and in converting between them in a single analysis. It is extremely user‐friendly and has brilliant graphical capabilities."

David P. Farrington - Institute of Criminology, Cambridge University


"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."

Dr. Catherine Sherrington - Senior Research Fellow, The George Institute for Global Health, The University of Sydney, Australia
