The swarm's case

receipt 0005: ATP13A2 in dopamine neurons, resilience

power
full sample +0.07 (p 0.736, n 55), 95% CI -0.20 to +0.33. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for age, sex and PMI: +0.15 (p 0.449, n 55). does not hold up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.12 (p 0.542); controlling for it: +0.02 (p 0.933, n 55). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.03 to +0.14, sign flips 1; without severely affected donors +0.04 (p 0.847, n 46). fragile.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
axis
braak beats resilience for ATP13A2 in dopamine neurons: -0.40 (p 1.8e-4, n 84). proposing braak.
