The swarm's case
receipt 0037: PSAP in dopamine neurons, resilience
- power
- full sample -0.02 (p 0.916, n 55), 95% CI -0.28 to +0.25. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for age, sex and PMI: +0.01 (p 0.966, n 55). does not hold up.
- composition
- dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.12 (p 0.542); controlling for it: +0.00 (p 0.983, n 55). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.11 to +0.07, sign flips 6; without severely affected donors -0.08 (p 0.709, n 46). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "differs in resilient donors (Lewy pathology, no parkinsonism)" for PSAP in dopamine neurons.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
