that seems pre-engine era analysis! according to to stockfish 10... O-O is drawish
engines can often be incorrect. Read Silman's Second to last ( I believe) article.
where, did he analysed 10...O-O 11. Rh4 e4+ 12. Kg2 d5 13.Bb3 Rxf7 line?

but it's not clear if this is a refutation.
that variation is playable for black, though extemely unbalanced...
kiloNewton, instead of going into that line, it's simpler just to play Bxf7+

can we say that 4...Bc5 if refuted by 5.Bxf7! ?

That variation is close to a draw (white may force it if he wishes so), but then only an idiot would try refuting the Traxler with 5.Nxf7. The line is totally impractical to play OTB, even if you memorize a great deal of moves.
As I said, I prefer Buecker's 5.d4. In the main line, it is quite alike the Bxf7+ lines, with a difference: the d-pawns are missing, and this favours white (Black's king is more exposed at e7).

The definitive refutation of the Traxler is 1.d4: Black cannot even apply it.

from post #31
this line is very good for white.
this line is very good for white.
...and even better for Black, after 9...Qxd6 10.c3 Bg4 11.Qa4+ Nd7.
I will repeat for the last time that only an idiot would possibly try refuting the Traxler with such messy means.
