Abstract
Statistical software for meta-analysis (MA) and network meta-analysis (NMA) have become indispensable for researchers. The aim of this chapter is to introduce key features of MA and NMA software to compare the effectiveness of interventions. Commonly used or routinely maintained statistical software are reviewed, including commercial and open-sourced programs such as Stata, R and Excel plug-ins. It does not provide a comprehensive overview of all features available in the software covered. Rather, it focuses on the essential features required to carry out an MA or NMA . This chapter begins with a review of key considerations when implementing an MA or NMA , then presents a summary of the software. Key features of each software option are discussed.
