The swarm's case
receipt 5171: ASTN1 in oligodendrocytes, braak
- power
- full sample +0.01 (p 0.962, n 18), 95% CI -0.46 to +0.48. 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
- oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.03 (p 0.915); controlling for it: -0.05 (p 0.847, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.10 to +0.14, sign flips 7; without severely affected donors +0.01 (p 0.962, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for ASTN1 in oligodendrocytes.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
