That study shows that the large majority of the cloth masks tested were much better than nothing. See Fig 3.A.
The only mask that was worse than nothing was the Neck Gaiter, but the difference was both clinically small as well as statistically insignificant.

I'm talking about and referred to [gaiter type] masks specifically.

> A bigger droplet scatters more light than a smaller droplet. This insight is important to interpret the result of the neck gaiter. The neck gaiter has a larger transmission (110%; see Fig. 3A) than the control trial. We attribute this increase to the neck gaiter dispersing larger droplets into several smaller droplets, therefore increasing the droplet count. The histogram of the binary diameter for the neck gaiter supports this theory (see fig. S5).
