I tried to look at the study to find out what kind of links they even included in the evaluation, but the link in TFA only goes to the publication's home page.

It's table S14 in the supplementary material http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/suppl/2019/01/07/5.1.eaau4586.DC1 http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/suppl/2019/01/07/5.1....
