So you want to do a meta-analysis...

Meta-Analysis software helps investigators evaluate evidence gathered during multiple medical studies. Users of their CMA product (Comprehensive Meta Analysis) can more easily work with data in disparate formats.

CMA was designed to help researchers synthesize quantitative evidence across studies. It was funded by the U.S. NIH under their SBIR research grant program. The company describes the need for its CMA tool this way: "Meta-analysis is the statistical procedure for combining data from multiple studies. Decisions about the utility of an intervention, or the validity of a hypothesis, cannot be based on the results of a single study, because results typically vary from one study to the next."
