    Hi all,
    I'm working with a team doing a meta-analysis on a large, complicated data set (think: hundreds of papers, data sets with over 1000 columns per row) and they are looking for advice on tools to help them with this (clearly, Covidence will not be best here.) I'm wondering if any of your teams have used anything worth looking into. They've hired some undergrads to help so it will need to be something that can have multiple users and a relatively low learning curve.
    Thanks!
    Megan

    Hi Megan,
    It might be worth checking out MetaReviewer. I think it's designed to handle complex meta-analyses. We are using it for a review I'm working on, but we haven't gotten far enough yet for me to understand how (or how well) it works. But perhaps worth a look!
    Best,
    Sarah
