The swarm's case

receipt 4061: NRXN2 in oligodendrocytes, braak

power
full sample -0.54 (p 0.021, n 18), 95% CI -0.80 to -0.10. the interval excludes zero: something may be there, smaller than a half can see.
confounder
adjusted for sex: -0.58 (p 0.012, 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 -0.61 to -0.48, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.54 (p 0.021, n 18). robust.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for NRXN2 in oligodendrocytes.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.
