There are more and more softwares for MA available, particularly in the field of medical research. These softwares can be of interest for a meta-analysis concerning the type of experimental data that is common in epidemiology, psychology and marketing. However, it is not always suitable for meta-analysis of correlational data where it is preferable to use a good statistical program (SAS, Stata, LISREL...). Anyway, here are some free softwares for MA:

- R. Thomas Lumley (meta) and Guido Schwarzer (meta) propose macros for R software. "Metafor Package" can also be used to conduct meta-analyses under R (www.metafor-project.org)

- MIX 2.0 is available free of charge for conducting meta-analyses under Excel(www.meta-analysis-made-easy.com/) and is more suitable for medical research.

- MetaStat: http://echo.edres.org:8080/meta/metastat.htm Software more suitable for medical research

- Meta-analysis 5.3. http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~health/meta_e.htm

- RevMan: http://ims.cochrane.org/revman Software more suitable for medical research

- META: http://davidkenny.net/meta.htm

Review manager is easy to get the hang of and do er velooed

Review Manager do not have advanced functions to analyze data from genetic studies. R should be more appropriate since it's free and more robust in analysis.

You could also consider Meta-Essentials. A free and easy to use meta-analysis tool. It can be used for various types of effect sizes. See www.meta-essentials.com. For more advanced meta-analysis (meta-regression, etc.), I would recommend the R package 'metafor'.

You can try with Epidat: https://www.sergas.es/Saude-publica/EPIDAT-4-2

OR tests.

Can anyone please help with a meta analysis software for mac?

Dear Fawad

You could look at ProMeta 3

https://idostatistics.com/prometa3/

That works on iOS

Best Wishes

David

OpenMeta is a freely available software which is very easy to use.

Thank u all
