   The 2020 Cochrane review with the 'at least as effective' conclusion was by Kelly, Humphreys & Ferri; 'Ferri and colleagues' conflates it with the 2006 review.

   Before

   FAQ schema: "Meta-analyses of studies comparing 12-step facilitation to other treatments, most recently a 2020 Cochrane review by Ferri and colleagues, found that 12-step programs were at least as effective..."

   After

   FAQ schema corrected: "Meta-analyses of studies comparing 12-step facilitation to other treatments, most recently a 2020 Cochrane review by Kelly, Humphreys and Ferri, found that 12-step programs were at least as effective..."

   Why: Body text already correctly reads "A 2020 Cochrane review by Kelly, Humphreys and Ferri found that 12-step programs were at least as effective..." But the FAQ schema still carried the stale attribution "a 2020 Cochrane review by Ferri and colleagues," which conflates the 2020 review with the different 2006 Ferri, Amato & Davoli Cochrane review (correctly cited separately in the bibliography).

   Fixed the FAQ to match the corrected body attribution.
