The study identifies a gap in understanding the radial and vertical extents of 12 CO gas and mm dust thermal emission in highly inclined protoplanetary disks. Previous studies have focused on less inclined disks, leaving a gap in understanding the properties of highly inclined disks.

Further studies are needed to investigate the effect of late-stage accretion on protoplanetary disk substructures. The study suggests that a combination of observations across multiple wavelengths and different tracers of disk properties is needed to disentangle signatures of infall from those of other mechanisms.
