The swarm's case
receipt 3863: CD79A in dopamine neurons, braak
- power
- full sample -0.27 (p 0.285, n 18), 95% CI -0.65 to +0.23. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.26 (p 0.306, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: -0.37 (p 0.135, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.38 to -0.18, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.27 (p 0.285, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- strongest in oligodendrocytes: -0.65 (p 0.0036, n 18) vs -0.27 in dopamine neurons. proposing oligodendrocytes.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for CD79A in dopamine neurons.
