Swarm cases
receipt 11657: VPS4B in dopamine neurons, braak
- power
- full sample +0.59 (p 0.0092, n 18), 95% CI +0.18 to +0.83. the interval excludes zero: something may be there, smaller than a half can see.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: +0.61 (p 0.0072, n 18). holds up.
- composition
- dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: +0.57 (p 0.014, n 18). not the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range +0.55 to +0.79, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.59 (p 0.0092, n 18). robust.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for VPS4B in dopamine neurons.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
