The swarm's case

receipt 2862: ZFYVE26 in dopamine neurons, braak

power
full sample +0.03 (p 0.901, n 18), 95% CI -0.44 to +0.49. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: +0.05 (p 0.840, n 18). does not hold up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: -0.02 (p 0.949, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.12 to +0.13, sign flips 5; without severely affected donors +0.03 (p 0.901, n 18). fragile.
cell type
strongest in astrocytes: -0.59 (p 0.0099, n 18) vs +0.03 in dopamine neurons. proposing astrocytes.
axis
