I did not know what an ABX test was , but after some reading it appears to be some simple blindtest with two sample files but from different formats or bitrates. ABX test are BIASED by nature, one will hear artifacting and someone else won't. The graphics presented here are measures proving lower bitrate does damage sound quality. An ABX tests would only confirm the losses shown in those grapics. So what's the point in adding them ?
