MetaAnalysisOnline is a web-based statistical platform for conducting meta-analyses of clinical and epidemiological studies.[1] The platform was developed at Semmelweis University and first described in a peer-reviewed publication in 2025.[1] A conference abstract describing the tool was presented at the 2024 annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.[2]

Description

edit

According to Fekete and Győrffy (2025), the platform implements fixed-effect and random-effects meta-analysis models, including Mantel–Haenszel, inverse-variance weighting, and DerSimonian–Laird methods.[1] The publication reports support for binary outcomes, continuous variables, and time-to-event data.[1] The same study describes calculation of heterogeneity statistics, including I² and τ², and generation of graphical outputs such as forest plots and funnel plots.[1]

Use in published research

edit

The platform has been cited in independent peer-reviewed research. A systematic review and meta-analysis published in Applied Sciences reported use of MetaAnalysisOnline for statistical calculations in the evaluation of melatonin quantification in wine.[3] A study published in Scientific Reports investigating associations between sleep imbalance and mortality outcomes cited the use of web-based meta-analytic tools including MetaAnalysisOnline.[4]
