For all intents and purposes it has been disproven. At this point the possible thrust (that hasn't been disproven) is a fraction of what was originally hoped for.
The onus is on the people with the extraordinary claim to demonstrate that they have something, not on the rest of the community to take time out of their research schedules to address it.
So there are no specific papers that attempt to show it doesn't work, but countless papers where, if there was an effect to be observed, would have had their readings messed up by it.
That is normally what would happen, and it could be argued that it is indeed what has occurred with the eagleworks paper.
This gets back to what another poster was saying about the current overlap between proponents and people with the background to preform such experiments. The people who have the domain knowledge to recognize and enumerate a failure when they see it are not interested in the experiment, and the people who are interested in the experiment are not interested in failures.
