That's really interesting. You should probably incorporate your findings in the Wikipedia article. It definitely lacks a critical viewpoint!

It's difficult to incorporate because it would basically be original research that's a metareview of published articles. Of course, the article itself is basically a metareview of primary source articles, which itself is a no-no on Wikipedia, but at least the fact that it is such basically screams that it's biased and non-NPOV.
It appears that a certain jcranmer was also in that thread. Hi!
To summarize: low sample size, confounding factors and mixed results mean that there's no strong evidence to suggest learning Esperanto helps more with learning another foreign language than directly starting to learn that language.
