Hi, Which meta-analysis software is easy-to-use and less costly to purchase license or free? RevMan or any other?
Everyone is welcome to help with their answers. I would greatly appreciate the answers from researchers who have already used the same. Thank you.
Dear Ambed,
Meta-Essentials might be of interest to you. It consists of a set of workbooks for Microsoft Excel that are free and easy to use. It calculates all the required statistics and provides the accompanying plots (e.g., forest plot, moderator analysis, subgroup analysis and a wide range of publication bias analyses). You can find the tool at www.meta-essentials.com
Good luck!

Hello Ambed,
If your data is dichotomous or continuous variables (like RCTs), you can choose RevMan, is easy to study and use. If you want to perform meta-regression or diagnostic test, STATA is better. For network meta analysis, R and WinBugs(Bayes model) are useful. Additionally, STATA, R and WinBUGs request you to study these programming language and coding in it, and RevMan, R, WinBUGs are using for free.
Best wishes!
Dear Ambed,
RevMan is not easy to use but easier than others.
Best wishes.
I wrote MAVIS and MAJOR which are free and open source. Both use R and the R package metafor. Check them out, MAJOR is part of Jamovi https://www.jamovi.org/news/2017/11/23/new-modules.html and you can find MAVIS on CRAN or on my website kylehamilton.net/shiny/MAVIS/ let me know if you have any questions
