 **Recommendation:** Use CMA cautiously and always supplement with open, transparent, and flexible tools like R packages or advanced platforms that support automated workflows and collaboration. **Recommendation:** Use CMA cautiously and always supplement with open, transparent, and flexible tools like R packages or advanced platforms that support automated workflows and collaboration.

 +====== Better Alternatives to Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) ======
 +
 +=== 🥇 R (metafor, meta, netmeta) ===
 +  * ✅ Supports wide range of meta-analytic models including network and Bayesian methods
 +  * ✅ Fully scriptable for reproducibility and customization
 +  * ✅ Integrates with literate programming tools (R Markdown, Docker)
 +  * ➕ **Why better than CMA:**  
 +    Most flexible, transparent, and extensible platform for meta-analysis
 +
 +=== 🔍 JASP / Jamovi ===
 +  * ✅ Free, open-source GUI-based statistical software
 +  * ✅ Supports frequentist and Bayesian meta-analysis methods
 +  * ✅ Easier learning curve than R with reproducible output
 +  * ➕ **Why better than CMA:**  
 +    Combines ease of use with advanced statistical features
 +
 +=== 🤖 AI-Assisted Tools: Elicit + RobotReviewer ===
 +  * ✅ Automate literature screening, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment
 +  * ✅ Reduce manual workload and errors
 +  * ➕ **Why better than CMA:**  
 +    Automate tedious upstream steps, complement statistical analysis
 +
 +=== 🔧 Systematic Review Workflow Platforms: Covidence / DistillerSR ===
 +  * ✅ Manage entire systematic review lifecycle (screening, extraction, bias assessment)
 +  * ✅ Support collaboration, version control, and audit trails
 +  * ➕ **Why better than CMA:**  
 +    Covers complete review workflow, not just meta-analysis
 +
 +=== 📊 Summary Table ===
 +
 +^ Tool                     ^ Strengths                                     ^ Why Better Than CMA                          ^
 +| R (metafor, meta, netmeta) | Advanced models, scripting, reproducibility  | Maximum flexibility and transparency         |
 +| JASP / Jamovi             | GUI, Bayesian & frequentist methods           | User-friendly with rich features              |
 +| Elicit + RobotReviewer    | AI-assisted extraction and bias assessment    | Automates and speeds up manual tasks          |
 +| Covidence / DistillerSR   | Full systematic review management              | Covers entire SR process with collaboration   |
 +
 +=== 🧠 Final Recommendation ===
 +  * Use **[[R packages]]** for comprehensive, advanced, and reproducible meta-analyses.
 +  * Use **[[JASP]] or Jamovi** for GUI-based advanced analysis with less coding.
 +  * Use **[[Elicit]] and RobotReviewer** to automate evidence extraction and bias assessment.
 +  * Use **[[Covidence]] or DistillerSR** to manage the full systematic review process.
 +  * Use **[[CMA]]** mainly for simple, standalone GUI needs without cutting-edge features.
