The swarm's case
receipt 7763: PDCD1LG2 in microglia, braak
- power
- full sample -0.08 (p 0.761, n 18), 95% CI -0.53 to +0.40. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.10 (p 0.683, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- microglia share of nuclei vs axis -0.11 (p 0.652); controlling for it: +0.04 (p 0.861, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.19 to +0.07, sign flips 5; without severely affected donors -0.08 (p 0.761, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for PDCD1LG2 in microglia.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
