The swarm's case

receipt 0008: SNCA in dopamine neurons, resilience

power
full sample +0.08 (p 0.689, n 55), 95% CI -0.19 to +0.34. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for age, sex and PMI: +0.08 (p 0.674, n 55). does not hold up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.12 (p 0.542); controlling for it: +0.09 (p 0.643, n 55). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.01 to +0.18, sign flips 2; without severely affected donors +0.10 (p 0.616, n 46). fragile.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
axis
no measure beats "differs in resilient donors (Lewy pathology, no parkinsonism)" for SNCA in dopamine neurons.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.
