receipt 12344: ATP5MC1 in dopamine neurons, braak

power
full sample +0.54 (p 0.019, n 18), 95% CI +0.10 to +0.81. the interval excludes zero: something may be there, smaller than a half can see.
confounder
adjusted for sex: +0.58 (p 0.013, n 18). holds up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: +0.62 (p 0.0060, n 18). not the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range +0.49 to +0.70, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.54 (p 0.019, n 18). robust.
cell type
strongest in microglia: +0.73 (p 5.6e-4, n 18) vs +0.54 in dopamine neurons. proposing microglia.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for ATP5MC1 in dopamine neurons.
