According to the Cochrane’s video below, “Systematic Reviews help make sense of many kinds of data. They’re a way of reviewing all the data and results from research about a particular question in a standardized systematic way. A systematic review helps give an objective and transparent overview of all evidence surrounding a particular question.”
Examples of SR papers:
A systematic review attempts to identify, appraise and synthesize all the empirical evidence that meets pre-specified eligibility criteria to answer a specific research question. Researchers conducting systematic reviews use explicit, systematic methods that are selected with a view aimed at minimizing bias, to produce more reliable findings to inform decision making.
What is a Cochrane Review?
A Cochrane Review is a systematic review of research in health care and health policy that is published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews.

Per CDC, "a systematic review attempts to collect and analyze all evidence that answers a specific question. The question must be clearly defined and have inclusion and exclusion criteria. A broad and thorough search of the literature is performed and a critical analysis of the search results is reported and ultimately provides a current evidence-based answer to the specific question."

From the above video (by National Collaborating Centre for Methods and Tools): "Systematic reviews combine relevant research studies in a systematic way to answer a specific research question with minimal bias. They tell you whether or not an intervention is effective. Meta-analyses are similar to systematic reviews, but go one step further: they provide a numerical summary of the combined findings." It discusses the different types of reviews and when to use them.
