Swarm cases

receipt 9968: LUC7L2 in dopamine neurons, braak

power
full sample +0.21 (p 0.408, n 18), 95% CI -0.29 to +0.61. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: +0.09 (p 0.709, n 18). does not hold up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: +0.06 (p 0.814, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range +0.11 to +0.35, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.21 (p 0.408, n 18). fragile.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for LUC7L2 in dopamine neurons.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.

receipt 9967: LUC7L2 in oligodendrocytes, braak

power
full sample +0.36 (p 0.137, n 18), 95% CI -0.12 to +0.71. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.

composition
oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.03 (p 0.915); controlling for it: +0.34 (p 0.170, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range +0.28 to +0.50, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.36 (p 0.137, n 18). fragile.
cell type
