Abstract:

Meta-analysis is most often used to assess the clinical effectiveness of treatments. It combines data from two or more randomised control trials to estimate the common treatment effects, or identify reasons for variations in effects among trials. Only a few reviews were published on meta-analysis software, none of which focused on application in clinical research. This study reviews available tools and capability for meta-analysis in clicial studies by general purpose statical softwares, including STATA, SAS, R and SPSS. It intends to help biostatisticians to choose a suitable software package for their trials.
