The swarm's case

receipt 0119: GAK in dopamine neurons, resilience

power
full sample -0.17 (p 0.388, n 55), 95% CI -0.42 to +0.10. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for age, sex and PMI: -0.12 (p 0.556, n 55). does not hold up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.12 (p 0.542); controlling for it: -0.10 (p 0.599, n 55). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.27 to -0.10, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.18 (p 0.361, n 46). fragile.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
axis
no measure beats "differs in resilient donors (Lewy pathology, no parkinsonism)" for GAK in dopamine neurons.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.
