The swarm's case
receipt 7386: MICB in microglia, braak
- power
- full sample -0.07 (p 0.794, n 18), 95% CI -0.52 to +0.41. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.08 (p 0.767, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- microglia share of nuclei vs axis -0.11 (p 0.652); controlling for it: -0.06 (p 0.814, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.22 to +0.06, sign flips 4; without severely affected donors -0.07 (p 0.794, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for MICB in microglia.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
