Comparison of the S₈ constraints from our gold samples to other studies. We show the best fit (where available) and 68th-percentile PJ-HPD (circles, opaque data points), and the maximum of the marginal distribution and the associated 68th-percentile (diamonds, semi-transparent). We compare to Asgari et al. (2021), HSC-Y1 (Hikage et al. 2019), DES-Y3 (Amon et al. 2022), and Planck legacy. The coloured vertical line and outer bands indicate the constraints from the fiducial gold sample, the inner bands the expected variance of the sampler.
