The swarm's case
receipt 9000: CLEC5A in microglia, braak
- power
- full sample -0.57 (p 0.013, n 18), 95% CI -0.82 to -0.14. the interval excludes zero: something may be there, smaller than a half can see.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.59 (p 0.011, n 18). holds up.
- composition
- microglia share of nuclei vs axis -0.11 (p 0.652); controlling for it: -0.51 (p 0.031, n 18). not the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.69 to -0.51, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.57 (p 0.013, n 18). robust.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for CLEC5A in microglia.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
