Abstract：
The rise of research synthesis and systematic reviews over the last 25 years has been aided by a series of software packages providing simple and accessible GUI interfaces which are intuitively easy to use by novice analysts and users. Development of many of these packages has been abandoned over time due to a variety of factors, leaving a gap in the software infrastructure available for meta-analysis. To fulfill the continued demand for a GUI-based meta-analytic system, we have now released MetaWin 3 as free, open-source, multi-platform software. MetaWin3 is written in Python and developed from scratch relative to earlier versions. The codebase is available on Github, with pre-compiled executables for both Windows and macOS available from the MetaWin website. MetaWin includes standardized effect size calculations, exploratory and publication bias analyses, and allows for both simple and complex explanatory models of variation within a meta-analytic framework, including meta-regression, using traditional least-squares/moments estimation.
摘要：
在过去的25年中，研究综合和系统评论的兴起得到了一系列软件包的帮助，这些软件包提供了简单易用的GUI界面，这些界面直观地易于新手分析师和用户使用。由于各种因素，随着时间的推移，许多这些软件包的开发已经被放弃，在可用于荟萃分析的软件基础设施中留下了空白。为了满足对基于GUI的元分析系统的持续需求，我们现在已经免费发布了MetaWin3，开源,多平台软件。MetaWin3是用Python编写的，相对于早期版本从头开始开发。代码库在Github上可用，使用MetaWin网站上提供的Windows和macOS的预编译可执行文件。MetaWin包括标准化的效果大小计算，探索性和发表偏倚分析，并允许在元分析框架内的简单和复杂的变化解释模型，包括元回归，使用传统的最小二乘/矩估计。
