That's just one RCT. The Cochrane meta-analysis looked at a bunch of them.

You're putting the cart before the horse. In an ideal world, guidelines for the medical field are based on scientific evidence. But there's always a delay.
You better consult the scientific evidence to make up your mind.
When it comes to covid and masking, policymakers will wait as long as possible before aknowledging the evidence, because they know the public hasn't forgotten the draconian masking of school kids yet.
If you read the study you would see that they addressed the issue of meta-studies on the topic.
