The swarm's case
receipt 6216: TNFRSF11A in microglia, braak
- power
- full sample -0.24 (p 0.328, n 18), 95% CI -0.64 to +0.25. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.30 (p 0.225, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- microglia share of nuclei vs axis -0.11 (p 0.652); controlling for it: -0.37 (p 0.130, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.34 to -0.14, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.24 (p 0.328, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for TNFRSF11A in microglia.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
