The swarm's case

receipt 4756: KCNH5 in oligodendrocytes, braak

power
full sample -0.00 (p 0.990, n 18), 95% CI -0.47 to +0.46. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: -0.03 (p 0.901, n 18). does not hold up.
composition
oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.03 (p 0.915); controlling for it: +0.03 (p 0.894, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.12 to +0.14, sign flips 10; without severely affected donors -0.00 (p 0.990, n 18). fragile.
cell type
strongest in dopamine neurons: +0.61 (p 0.0069, n 18) vs -0.00 in oligodendrocytes. proposing dopamine neurons.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for KCNH5 in oligodendrocytes.
