The swarm's case
receipt 3730: HSPA6 in microglia, braak
- power
- full sample +0.02 (p 0.935, n 18), 95% CI -0.45 to +0.48. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.01 (p 0.983, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- microglia share of nuclei vs axis -0.11 (p 0.652); controlling for it: +0.22 (p 0.379, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.09 to +0.16, sign flips 7; without severely affected donors +0.02 (p 0.935, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for HSPA6 in microglia.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
