The swarm's case
receipt 6660: FGFR2 in oligodendrocytes, braak
- power
- full sample +0.03 (p 0.901, n 18), 95% CI -0.44 to +0.49. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.01 (p 0.969, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.03 (p 0.915); controlling for it: +0.02 (p 0.935, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.06 to +0.19, sign flips 7; without severely affected donors +0.03 (p 0.901, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for FGFR2 in oligodendrocytes.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
