There is a graph in the paper with the same 24ns statistical deviation and that it clearly showed a 2 sigma effect. But the point it is that there are several 2 sigma, without much deviation. So, in the end, there are 6 sigma.

Even if we were to take the systematic uncertainty to be accurate, this result is now within two standard errors, which disqualifies it as a "discovery", rendering it simply "an interesting result".
