Is it true that a meta-analysis is a type of systematic review that statistically combines results from multiple studies?

Yes. One methodological guide states that meta-analysis quantitatively combines data from multiple studies to calculate an overall effect size, and describes it as the quantitative synthesis used within systematic reviews. Other items treat meta-analysis as a statistical pooling of results but do not explicitly define it as a type of systematic review.
