The swarm's case
receipt 0073: ADORA2A in dopamine neurons, resilience
- power
- full sample -0.05 (p 0.784, n 55), 95% CI -0.31 to +0.21. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for age, sex and PMI: -0.03 (p 0.883, n 55). does not hold up.
- composition
- dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.12 (p 0.542); controlling for it: -0.06 (p 0.752, n 55). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.16 to +0.02, sign flips 3; without severely affected donors -0.03 (p 0.867, n 46). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "differs in resilient donors (Lewy pathology, no parkinsonism)" for ADORA2A in dopamine neurons.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
