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 a state‐of‐the art, versatile, and user‐friendly program that has met all my research needs for conducting meta‐analyses. The supporting documentation is first rate and the support staff are extremely helpful. I highly recommend this program for anyone engaged in metaanalytic investigations."

Steven Taylor, PhD - Professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of British Columbia


"Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis is easy to use in terms of data entry, flexibility of variables, options with fixed and random analysis and understanding output. I recommend it to all my students conducting meta‐analyses because of these reasons. It is the only software program I use to conduct analysis of studies."

Guy D. Eslick - Associate Professor, The Whiteley‐Martin Research Centre, Discipline of Surgery, The University of Sydney
