The swarm's case
receipt 0076: BCHE in oligodendrocytes, resilience
- power
- full sample +0.13 (p 0.514, n 55), 95% CI -0.14 to +0.38. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for age, sex and PMI: +0.14 (p 0.487, n 55). does not hold up.
- composition
- oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis -0.52 (p 0.0075); controlling for it: +0.14 (p 0.487, n 55). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range +0.05 to +0.24, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.10 (p 0.634, n 46). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "differs in resilient donors (Lewy pathology, no parkinsonism)" for BCHE in oligodendrocytes.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
