The swarm's case
receipt 0075: BCHE in oligodendrocytes, braak
- power
- full sample -0.08 (p 0.443, n 84), 95% CI -0.29 to +0.13. the interval sits on zero: probably nothing there.
- confounder
- adjusted for age, sex and PMI: -0.00 (p 0.992, n 84). does not hold up.
- composition
- oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.09 (p 0.422); controlling for it: -0.00 (p 0.982, n 84). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.12 to -0.06, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.03 (p 0.812, n 75). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for BCHE in oligodendrocytes.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
