The swarm's case
receipt 3411: CAMKK2 in dopamine neurons, braak
- power
- full sample -0.38 (p 0.123, n 18), 95% CI -0.72 to +0.11. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.38 (p 0.123, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: -0.50 (p 0.036, n 18). not the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.52 to -0.29, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.38 (p 0.123, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- strongest in oligodendrocytes: -0.59 (p 0.0099, n 18) vs -0.38 in dopamine neurons. proposing oligodendrocytes.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for CAMKK2 in dopamine neurons.
