The swarm's case
receipt 6954: B3GLCT in dopamine neurons, braak
- power
- full sample +0.49 (p 0.038, n 18), 95% CI +0.03 to +0.78. the interval excludes zero: something may be there, smaller than a half can see.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: +0.46 (p 0.057, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: +0.44 (p 0.066, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range +0.41 to +0.57, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.49 (p 0.038, n 18). robust.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for B3GLCT in dopamine neurons.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
