The swarm's case

receipt 4887: RORB in astrocytes, braak

power
full sample +0.45 (p 0.059, n 18), 95% CI -0.02 to +0.76. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: +0.40 (p 0.099, n 18). does not hold up.
composition
astrocytes share of nuclei vs axis -0.21 (p 0.413); controlling for it: +0.41 (p 0.093, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range +0.39 to +0.64, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.45 (p 0.059, n 18). robust.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for RORB in astrocytes.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.
