The swarm's case
receipt 1677: CYTH1 in dopamine neurons, braak
- power
- full sample -0.34 (p 0.161, n 18), 95% CI -0.70 to +0.15. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.35 (p 0.159, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: -0.33 (p 0.176, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.46 to -0.26, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.34 (p 0.161, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- strongest in oligodendrocytes: -0.76 (p 2.4e-4, n 18) vs -0.34 in dopamine neurons. proposing oligodendrocytes.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for CYTH1 in dopamine neurons.
