The swarm's case
receipt 0129: HTR2C in dopamine neurons, resilience
- power
- full sample +0.05 (p 0.801, n 55), 95% CI -0.22 to +0.31. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for age, sex and PMI: +0.01 (p 0.950, n 55). does not hold up.
- composition
- dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.12 (p 0.542); controlling for it: -0.01 (p 0.966, n 55). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.01 to +0.15, sign flips 3; without severely affected donors +0.06 (p 0.748, n 46). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "differs in resilient donors (Lewy pathology, no parkinsonism)" for HTR2C in dopamine neurons.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
