The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The status of GMSB after 1/fb at the LHC (2011, methodology): “When these numbers were not available, we have used the standard CLs statistic [105].”
XENON100 dark matter results from a combination of 477 live days (2016, methodology): “The PL analysis of the combined data results in a 90% confidence level (CL) limit using the CLs prescription [28] on the WIMP-nucleon SI cross section as shown in Fig.”
Extended gamma-ray emission from Coy Dark Matter (2014, methodology): “We have cross-checked our results using the CheckMATE [81] package which incorporates the results of [75, 78, 82–84].”
Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), Far Detector Technical Design Report, Volume II: DUNE Physics (2020, positive): “The 90% CL exclusion limit, N90 s , can be obtained with a modified frequentist construction [476, 477].”
Model-independent jets plus missing energy searches (2008, methodology): “There is no canonical way of dealing with this elementary statistical question, although the CLS method is the most commonly used [31, 32].”
Collider limits on new physics within micrOMEGAs4.3 (2016, positive): “The function returns the resulting CL obtained with the CLs technique [68,69] for each SR and chooses the most constraining one.”
