Abstract: Understanding how to conduct a meta-analysis helps clinicians in making clinical decisions [1].Hence, researchers need additional knowledge regarding software programs used to perform meta-analysis.In the published literature of high-impact-factor anesthesia journals, we observed that RevMan 5 (Review Manager [RevMan], [Computer program],Version 5.4,The Cochrane Collaboration, 2020) is the most frequently used primary meta-analytical software package.However, detailed information on additional auxiliary software use is inadequate.The challenge arises when multiple analyses are required, and the researcher needs to choose the correct software program.Apart from primary statistical software programs, such as SAS (Copyright © SAS Institute Inc., SAS Campus Drive, USA), R (R Core Team [2017], R: A language and environment for statistical computing.R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Austria.
