Is it true that a meta-analysis counts as a research study that statistically combines data from previously published studies?
Yes. One reference guide states that meta-analysis quantitatively combines data from multiple studies to calculate an overall effect size, and a Wikipedia article describes it as combining effect sizes from a set of studies. Other items are examples of meta-analyses pooling published studies rather than definitions.
