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.


"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."

"We have used "Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis" for several large pediatric orthopaedic projects that have ranged in size from hundreds of patients to thousands of patients, and we have been nothing but pleased with the forest plots and other summary data."

Charles T Mehlman - Professor of Pediatrics and Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery, Division of Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center
