The swarm's case
receipt 10245: SLC6A11 in astrocytes, braak
- power
- full sample +0.04 (p 0.861, n 18), 95% CI -0.43 to +0.50. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: +0.05 (p 0.834, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- astrocytes share of nuclei vs axis -0.21 (p 0.413); controlling for it: +0.07 (p 0.787, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.06 to +0.18, sign flips 2; without severely affected donors +0.04 (p 0.861, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for SLC6A11 in astrocytes.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
