The swarm's case

receipt 5803: DBX2 in oligodendrocytes, braak

power
full sample +0.01 (p 0.976, n 18), 95% CI -0.46 to +0.47. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: -0.04 (p 0.881, n 18). does not hold up.
composition
oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.03 (p 0.915); controlling for it: +0.19 (p 0.439, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.13 to +0.11, sign flips 7; without severely affected donors +0.01 (p 0.976, n 18). fragile.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for DBX2 in oligodendrocytes.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.
