The swarm's case
receipt 5187: ACER3 in oligodendrocytes, braak
- power
- full sample +0.39 (p 0.109, n 18), 95% CI -0.09 to +0.73. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: +0.37 (p 0.127, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.03 (p 0.915); controlling for it: +0.48 (p 0.043, n 18). not the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range +0.31 to +0.49, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.39 (p 0.109, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for ACER3 in oligodendrocytes.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
