The swarm's case
receipt 0823: SLC39A10 in microglia, braak
- power
- full sample -0.41 (p 0.087, n 18), 95% CI -0.74 to +0.07. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.44 (p 0.064, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- microglia share of nuclei vs axis -0.11 (p 0.652); controlling for it: -0.33 (p 0.176, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.54 to -0.32, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.41 (p 0.087, n 18). robust.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for SLC39A10 in microglia.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
