The swarm's case
receipt 3392: STARD9 in oligodendrocytes, braak
- power
- full sample -0.59 (p 0.0096, n 18), 95% CI -0.83 to -0.17. the interval excludes zero: something may be there, smaller than a half can see.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.55 (p 0.018, n 18). holds up.
- composition
- oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.03 (p 0.915); controlling for it: -0.61 (p 0.0069, n 18). not the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.72 to -0.53, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.59 (p 0.0096, n 18). robust.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for STARD9 in oligodendrocytes.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
