Can MIX 2.0 be used instead of existing programs like RevMan or CMA?
Yes and no. Yes, MIX 2.0 can do many of the analyses that you find in other meta-analysis software (and even more). It is particularly versatile from a graphical viewpoint. However, MIX 2.0 focuses on numerical and graphical meta-analysis; it does not manage reviews like RevMan and will not do so in future versions either.
