Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) is a powerful software for conducting meta-analysis, the statistical procedure for combining data from multiple research studies. When the treatment effect (or effect size) is consistent from one study to another, meta-analysis can be used to identify this common effect. When the effect varies from one study to another, meta-analysis may be used to identify the reason for this variation.
