receipt 8732: BCAS1 in dopamine neurons, braak

power: full sample +0.37 (p 0.130, n 18), 95% CI -0.12 to +0.71. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder: adjusted for sex: +0.37 (p 0.135, n 18). does not hold up.
composition: dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: +0.33 (p 0.185, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic: leave-one-out range +0.29 to +0.48, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.37 (p 0.130, n 18). fragile.
cell type: no other cell group does better.
axis: no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for BCAS1 in dopamine neurons.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.

receipt 8731: BCAS1 in oligodendrocytes, braak

power: full sample +0.44 (p 0.069, n 18), 95% CI -0.04 to +0.75. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder: adjusted for sex: +0.46 (p 0.052, n 18). does not hold up.
composition: oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.03 (p 0.915); controlling for it: +0.45 (p 0.062, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic: leave-one-out range +0.37 to +0.57, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.44 (p 0.069, n 18). robust.
cell type: no other cell group does better.
axis: no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for BCAS1 in oligodendrocytes.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.
