The swarm's case

receipt 0106: NDUFAB1 in dopamine neurons, resilience

power
full sample -0.27 (p 0.171, n 55), 95% CI -0.50 to -0.00. the interval excludes zero: something may be there, smaller than a half can see.
confounder
adjusted for age, sex and PMI: -0.25 (p 0.207, n 55). does not hold up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.12 (p 0.542); controlling for it: -0.24 (p 0.230, n 55). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.39 to -0.20, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.28 (p 0.160, n 46). fragile.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
axis
no measure beats "differs in resilient donors (Lewy pathology, no parkinsonism)" for NDUFAB1 in dopamine neurons.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.
