The middle panel shows the histogram of sources exhibiting the detections listed in the legend, with the full sample of sources with literature disk inclination measurements shown in gray. The top panel shows the corresponding outflow detection fractions in each inclination bin, with uncertainties estimated using the method described in Appendix F. The points are plotted with a small offset in the x-axis from the bin center to ensure that each error bar is visible. The lower panel shows the line SNR (see Appendix E for details on its estimation) for the individual sources in each bin, with boxes highlighting the average H2 SNR and diamonds displaying the [Ne II] SNR. We have excluded the known multiple-star systems from this plot. The dashed lines in the lower panel highlight the minimum line SNR at which an extended jet (green) or an extended wind (yellow) is detected.
