I think this is less clearly true than the funding hype imbalance though. I've seen PIs complain that a meta analysis took citations away from their paper that was included in said meta analysis. A replication study that is well written, particularly if it synthesizes replication results of multiple studies, could overtake original work in citations over time IMO. Doubly so if published in a journal that is already fairly reputable.
