Meta study had to be completed before 2010 to be published in Mar 2010. FAQ was published in 2009, I guess at the same time the paper was submitted for review. That's the reason for having same conclusions.

The FAQ mentions an article from 2003. I don't know these people, don't know if this role is part of their academic career like suggested in a comment above, but even being of that opinion such a long time suggests a bias when starting a new study.
