The web-based xmeta online platform supports efficient and accurate meta-analysis studies without requiring any programming skills. The xmeta platform mainly focuses on the meta-analysis by offering comprehensive methods for study-level summary data, with model diagnoses, data visualizations, sensitivity analyses, and an automated generated data analysis report. It features univariate, multivariate and network meta-analyses with different types of outcomes including continuous, binary and time-to-event outcomes. In addition, it contains advanced model diagnosis tools such as evaluation of publication bias and outcome reporting bias, in various types of meta-analysis models. Xmeta also allows the users to create all kinds of meta-analysis results plots, including forest plot, funnel plot, bubble plot, and galaxy plot [Chuan et al, 2020]. In addition, the platform can generate an automated dynamic data-analysis report for the users. This report contains visualization of the data, meta- analysis of average effect size, between-study heterogeneity, sensitivity analyses, evaluation of risk of publication bias, and etc.
