receipt 2576: MBP in dopamine neurons, braak

power: full sample +0.23 (p 0.360, n 18), 95% CI -0.27 to +0.63. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder: adjusted for sex: +0.23 (p 0.360, n 18). does not hold up.
composition: dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: +0.34 (p 0.167, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic: leave-one-out range +0.13 to +0.38, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.23 (p 0.360, n 18). fragile.
cell type: no other cell group does better.
axis: no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for MBP in dopamine neurons.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.

receipt 2575: MBP in oligodendrocytes, braak

power: full sample +0.38 (p 0.125, n 18), 95% CI -0.11 to +0.72. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder: adjusted for sex: +0.40 (p 0.099, n 18). does not hold up.
composition: oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.03 (p 0.915); controlling for it: +0.49 (p 0.038, n 18). not the mix.
skeptic: leave-one-out range +0.30 to +0.52, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.38 (p 0.125, n 18). fragile.
cell type: no other cell group does better.
axis: no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for MBP in oligodendrocytes.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.
