Swarm cases
receipt 9006: BCAT1 in dopamine neurons, braak
- power
- full sample +0.47 (p 0.047, n 18), 95% CI +0.01 to +0.77. the interval excludes zero: something may be there, smaller than a half can see.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: +0.46 (p 0.055, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: +0.51 (p 0.029, n 18). not the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range +0.39 to +0.55, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.47 (p 0.047, n 18). robust.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for BCAT1 in dopamine neurons.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
