Marginalised constraints on S​₈ derived from our fiducial analysis with POLYCHORD, compared with those from other contemporary cosmic shear surveys and the Planck CMB analysis. Three sections, separated by dotted horizontal lines, indicate results of different origins. The first section includes results from individual cosmic shear surveys with their own analysis pipelines. The second section presents results from a collaborative effort between the DES and KiDS teams, who built a hybrid pipeline for analysing the data from both groups (DK23). The final section displays results from the Planck CMB analysis. Different labels are used for different statistical methods: the diamond represents results using the MAP and PJ-HPD statistics, the square denotes the mean-marginal statistics, and the circle shows the maximum-marginal statistics. The error bars correspond to the 68% credible intervals.
