Swarm cases

receipt 6460: LIN28B in dopamine neurons, braak

power
full sample +0.41 (p 0.093, n 18), 95% CI -0.07 to +0.73. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: +0.48 (p 0.044, n 18). holds up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: +0.50 (p 0.033, n 18). not the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range +0.33 to +0.54, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.41 (p 0.093, n 18). robust.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for LIN28B in dopamine neurons.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.
