Swarm cases

receipt 8341: DPYSL2 in dopamine neurons, braak

power
full sample +0.05 (p 0.834, n 18), 95% CI -0.42 to +0.51. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: -0.00 (p 0.997, n 18). does not hold up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: +0.02 (p 0.949, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.05 to +0.16, sign flips 3; without severely affected donors +0.05 (p 0.834, n 18). fragile.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for DPYSL2 in dopamine neurons.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.

receipt 8340: DPYSL2 in oligodendrocytes, braak

composition
oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.03 (p 0.915); controlling for it: -0.03 (p 0.915, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.24 to -0.01, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.10 (p 0.690, n 18). fragile.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
