Graduate How to find the value of the baryon asymmetry in this paper

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on understanding the baryon to photon ratio (η) as presented in a specific review paper. The paper summarizes findings related to baryon asymmetry but directs readers to the original references for detailed calculations and values. The value of η is noted to be approximately 6.07 ± 0.33 × 10^-10, as found in another study. Participants emphasize that the review's purpose is to provide an overview rather than exhaustive details. To grasp the calculations behind η, consulting the cited references in the review is essential.

TL;DR
Any help how to find the right value of the baryon asymmetry or the baryon density expected from the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) of order ##\sim 10^{-10}## in a paper
I'm trying to understand from this paper

https://pdg.lbl.gov/2020/reviews/rpp2020-rev-bbang-nucleosynthesis.pdf

What is the value of the baryon to photon ratio ##\eta=n_b/n_\gamma## as named in figure 24.1, but I can't get from the figure or the paper how ##\eta## is of order ##10^{-10}##

Any help in reading such papers?

I mean I found in another study that the value of ##\eta## as expected from BBN is of order: ##6.07\pm0.33 \times 10^{-10} ##

So where can we find such value in the mentioned paper?

That's a review. It's job is to summarize and point you to the references. To understand the details, read the references.

I was reading a study about baryogenesis and the authors cited the mentioned paper and its ##\eta## value, so I just wonder how they concluded this value

It literally briefly mentions how things are done and give you the references to where the details can be found.
