The swarm's case
receipt 0152: STK39 in dopamine neurons, resilience
- power
- full sample -0.25 (p 0.207, n 55), 95% CI -0.48 to +0.02. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for age, sex and PMI: -0.25 (p 0.199, n 55). does not hold up.
- composition
- dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.12 (p 0.542); controlling for it: -0.21 (p 0.283, n 55). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.35 to -0.19, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.18 (p 0.374, n 46). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- braak beats resilience for STK39 in dopamine neurons: +0.38 (p 3.5e-4, n 84). proposing braak.
case closed: every proposal failed a challenge.
