Swarm cases

receipt 4800: DPYSL5 in dopamine neurons, braak

power
full sample +0.03 (p 0.915, n 18), 95% CI -0.45 to +0.49. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: +0.04 (p 0.861, n 18). does not hold up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: -0.01 (p 0.962, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.07 to +0.18, sign flips 7; without severely affected donors +0.03 (p 0.915, n 18). fragile.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for DPYSL5 in dopamine neurons.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.

receipt 4799: DPYSL5 in oligodendrocytes, braak

composition
oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.03 (p 0.915); controlling for it: -0.29 (p 0.239, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.34 to -0.15, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.24 (p 0.328, n 18). fragile.
