META-ANALYSIS SOFTWARE

Meta-analysis software that pools your data the moment extraction is done.

No exporting to a separate stats package. Pool effect sizes with the same models Cochrane reviews use — fixed or random effects, Mantel-Haenszel, Peto — and get forest plots, funnel plots, and heterogeneity statistics automatically.

The analysis engine

A meta-analysis tool built to Cochrane conventions, not a generic chart library

📊

Fixed & random effects

Inverse-variance pooling with DerSimonian-Laird random effects — the standard your reviewers already expect from RevMan.

🧮

Mantel-Haenszel & Peto

Dichotomous pooling methods that stay robust with sparse events, without needing continuity correction on zero-cell studies.

📈

Forest & funnel plots

Interactive, exportable plots — including RevMan-style grouped subtotals when your studies split into subgroups, and log-scale funnel plots for ratio measures.

🔀

Subgroup analysis

Test for subgroup differences with the same Q-statistic-based chi-square test the Cochrane Handbook specifies — not an approximation.

🎯

Sensitivity analysis

Leave-one-out re-pooling shows whether any single study is driving your overall effect, before a reviewer asks the question for you.

🔍

Risk of bias summary

Per-study traffic light plus an aggregate risk-of-bias graph — the two figures every Cochrane-style review needs, generated from your extraction data.

From RevMan's formulas, without RevMan's workflow

The statistical methods are the ones Cochrane reviews are built on — the difference is that your studies, extracted effect sizes, and pooled results live in the same place as your screening decisions, so nothing has to be manually re-typed between screening and analysis.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What pooling methods does this meta-analysis software support?+

Inverse-variance (fixed and DerSimonian-Laird random effects), Mantel-Haenszel, and Peto's method for dichotomous outcomes — plus mean difference and Hedges' g standardized mean difference for continuous outcomes.

Can I run subgroup analysis?+

Yes — tag studies with a subgroup label at extraction, and any pooled run with two or more subgroups automatically shows subtotal diamonds and a test for subgroup differences.

Does it handle omics data too?+

Yes — GWAS variant aggregation and RNA-seq gene-level synthesis are supported alongside clinical meta-analysis.

Is this free meta-analysis software?+

Yes, with no subscription required.

How is heterogeneity reported?+

Cochran's Q, I², and τ² are computed for every pooled run, with an automatic low/moderate/high interpretation alongside the numbers.
