Swarm cases

receipt 7942: SCAMP5 in dopamine neurons, braak

power
full sample -0.33 (p 0.182, n 18), 95% CI -0.69 to +0.16. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: -0.32 (p 0.194, n 18). does not hold up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: -0.44 (p 0.067, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.44 to -0.24, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.33 (p 0.182, n 18). fragile.
cell type
strongest in OPCs: -0.61 (p 0.0075, n 18) vs -0.33 in dopamine neurons. proposing OPCs.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for SCAMP5 in dopamine neurons.
