The swarm's case
receipt 0062: ACHE in dopamine neurons, resilience
- power
- full sample +0.34 (p 0.081, n 55), 95% CI +0.09 to +0.56. the interval excludes zero: something may be there, smaller than a half can see.
- confounder
- adjusted for age, sex and PMI: +0.36 (p 0.064, n 55). does not hold up.
- composition
- dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.12 (p 0.542); controlling for it: +0.37 (p 0.061, n 55). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range +0.28 to +0.46, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.31 (p 0.125, n 46). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "differs in resilient donors (Lewy pathology, no parkinsonism)" for ACHE in dopamine neurons.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
