receipt 3017: SOX6 in dopamine neurons, braak

power: full sample +0.28 (p 0.254, n 18), 95% CI -0.21 to +0.66. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder: adjusted for sex: +0.31 (p 0.207, n 18). does not hold up.
composition: dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: +0.35 (p 0.156, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic: leave-one-out range +0.18 to +0.44, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.28 (p 0.254, n 18). fragile.
cell type: no other cell group does better.
axis: no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for SOX6 in dopamine neurons.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.

receipt 3016: SOX6 in oligodendrocytes, braak

power: full sample -0.11 (p 0.671, n 18), 95% CI -0.55 to +0.38. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder: adjusted for sex: -0.07 (p 0.787, n 18). does not hold up.
composition: oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.03 (p 0.915); controlling for it: +0.03 (p 0.922, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic: leave-one-out range -0.27 to +0.02, sign flips 1; without severely affected donors -0.11 (p 0.671, n 18). fragile.
cell type: no other cell group does better.
axis: no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for SOX6 in oligodendrocytes.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.
