The swarm's case
receipt 0255: KIF1A in dopamine neurons, braak
- power
- full sample -0.63 (p 0.0049, n 18), 95% CI -0.85 to -0.23. the interval excludes zero: something may be there, smaller than a half can see.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.58 (p 0.011, n 18). holds up.
- composition
- dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: -0.64 (p 0.0039, n 18). not the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.77 to -0.59, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.63 (p 0.0049, n 18). robust.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for KIF1A in dopamine neurons.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
