The robustness of results of statistical analysis would be altered on the condition of repeated update of traditional meta-analysis and cumulative meta-analysis. In addition, the cumulative meta-analysis lacks estimation of the sample size. While trail sequential analysis (TSA), which introduces group sequential analysis in meta-analysis, can adjust the random error and ultimately estimate the required sample size of the systematic review or meta-analysis. TSA is performed in TSA software. In the present study, we aimed to introduce how to use the TSA software for performing meta-analysis.
