Notes. The measured overall lensing amplitude  is given for the conservative (40 ≤ L ≤ 400) multipole range, as well as lower and higher multipoles. All should be consistent with zero. The PTE values are estimated by comparison of the χ2 values to the distributions from simulations. PTEs are given for the difference of the overall amplitude from zero, as well as for the χ2 of the difference from zero of the binned spectra.
