The swarm's case
receipt 0068: GRIN2C in astrocytes, braak
- power
- full sample -0.05 (p 0.629, n 84), 95% CI -0.26 to +0.16. the interval sits on zero: probably nothing there.
- confounder
- adjusted for age, sex and PMI: -0.07 (p 0.507, n 84). does not hold up.
- composition
- astrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.26 (p 0.016); controlling for it: -0.10 (p 0.365, n 84). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.09 to -0.03, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.03 (p 0.790, n 75). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for GRIN2C in astrocytes.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
