The swarm's case
receipt 0448: CLK2 in astrocytes, braak
- power
- full sample +0.04 (p 0.881, n 18), 95% CI -0.44 to +0.50. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: +0.11 (p 0.671, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- astrocytes share of nuclei vs axis -0.21 (p 0.413); controlling for it: +0.10 (p 0.702, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.07 to +0.19, sign flips 6; without severely affected donors +0.04 (p 0.881, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for CLK2 in astrocytes.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
