The swarm's case
receipt 8793: TRPM3 in astrocytes, braak
- power
- full sample +0.26 (p 0.289, n 18), 95% CI -0.23 to +0.65. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: +0.28 (p 0.265, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- astrocytes share of nuclei vs axis -0.21 (p 0.413); controlling for it: +0.46 (p 0.052, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range +0.17 to +0.37, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.26 (p 0.289, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for TRPM3 in astrocytes.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
