The swarm's case

receipt 11111: TUSC2 in dopamine neurons, braak

power
full sample +0.17 (p 0.509, n 18), 95% CI -0.33 to +0.59. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: +0.18 (p 0.482, n 18). does not hold up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: +0.17 (p 0.498, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range +0.05 to +0.34, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.17 (p 0.509, n 18). fragile.
cell type
strongest in astrocytes: -0.59 (p 0.0097, n 18) vs +0.17 in dopamine neurons. proposing astrocytes.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for TUSC2 in dopamine neurons.
