The swarm's case
receipt 4448: P2RX7 in oligodendrocytes, braak
- power
- full sample +0.47 (p 0.047, n 18), 95% CI +0.01 to +0.77. the interval excludes zero: something may be there, smaller than a half can see.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: +0.44 (p 0.067, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.03 (p 0.915); controlling for it: +0.43 (p 0.077, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range +0.39 to +0.60, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.47 (p 0.047, n 18). robust.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for P2RX7 in oligodendrocytes.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
