Has there been any statistical analysis of penalty shoot outs won by the team going first or second?

lots but with mixed results:

Marca goes with the 60% of teams going first win the shootout (this was 100% in the Championship just finished): https://www.marca.com/en/football/uefa-euro/2021/07/12/60ec363622601d8c1d8b4594.html
This piece says that the team of the captain who won the coin toss (only 56% of whom elected to kick first) won 60% of their shootouts and implies that playing to your advantages (like if you have a badass keeper and you want to put the other guys off) is more of a factor than just going first https://theconversation.com/euro-2020-penalty-shootouts-can-be-won-or-lost-on-a-coin-toss-163039

This is a study of alternative penalty formats (I've not read more than the abstract) https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10288-020-00439-w
