I know I’m bit late for the party but I think this might be useful to someone. The return value change based on the method you use.

If you use get_posts() then it will return null for false values. If you use WP_Query() you’ll get true if checked and false if not checked.

So here is what worked for me. for get_posts()

  'meta_query'  => array(
	          array(
	            'key'       => 'archived_post',
	             'value'     => '1',
	             'compare'   => 'NOT EXISTS'
	             ),)

For WP_Query()

'meta_query'  => array(
	        array(
	        'key'       => 'archived_post',
	         'value'     => '1',
	         'compare'   => '!='
	         ),)
