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.


"We bought the CMA software for professional perpetual version at the beginning of this year, and we have used it to do meta-analyses for several studies and trained the postgraduate students already. The friendly spreadsheet, easy-understandable dialog, not programming and modifiable output style make use of the software to do a meta-analysis convenient. The most fabulous point is that it can extend the traditional comparison of two groups to estimation of effect size in one group and generic point estimates. In summary, this software is an efficient and user-friendly tool for scientists to do a study related to meta-analysis."

"I have conducted several meta‐analyses over the past several years, and Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis has been the main software I have relied on. It is "user friendly" and it provides a wide range of options to fit the different types of effect size information found in different types of studies. Most importantly, I know I can rely on the statistical formulas at the foundation of the software, due to the top‐notch development team for CMA."
