The swarm's case
receipt 2695: TPP1 in astrocytes, braak
- power
- full sample -0.19 (p 0.455, n 18), 95% CI -0.60 to +0.31. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.18 (p 0.476, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- astrocytes share of nuclei vs axis -0.21 (p 0.413); controlling for it: +0.02 (p 0.928, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.31 to -0.09, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.19 (p 0.455, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for TPP1 in astrocytes.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
