The swarm's case
receipt 7821: H6PD in dopamine neurons, braak
- power
- full sample -0.47 (p 0.051, n 18), 95% CI -0.77 to +0.00. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.45 (p 0.060, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: -0.52 (p 0.027, n 18). not the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.62 to -0.40, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.47 (p 0.051, n 18). robust.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for H6PD in dopamine neurons.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
