The swarm's case
receipt 0910: ARPC4 in microglia, braak
- power
- full sample +0.56 (p 0.016, n 18), 95% CI +0.12 to +0.81. the interval excludes zero: something may be there, smaller than a half can see.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: +0.55 (p 0.019, n 18). holds up.
- composition
- microglia share of nuclei vs axis -0.11 (p 0.652); controlling for it: +0.56 (p 0.016, n 18). not the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range +0.50 to +0.68, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.56 (p 0.016, n 18). robust.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for ARPC4 in microglia.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
