Swarm cases

receipt 3838: BORCS7 in dopamine neurons, braak

power
full sample +0.56 (p 0.015, n 18), 95% CI +0.13 to +0.82. the interval excludes zero: something may be there, smaller than a half can see.
confounder
adjusted for sex: +0.57 (p 0.013, n 18). holds up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: +0.58 (p 0.011, n 18). not the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range +0.51 to +0.70, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.56 (p 0.015, n 18). robust.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for BORCS7 in dopamine neurons.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.

receipt 3837: BORCS7 in oligodendrocytes, braak

power
full sample +0.31 (p 0.214, n 18), 95% CI -0.19 to +0.68. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: +0.33 (p 0.182, n 18). does not hold up.
composition
oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.03 (p 0.915); controlling for it: +0.28 (p 0.269, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range +0.21 to +0.50, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.31 (p 0.214, n 18). fragile.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for BORCS7 in oligodendrocytes.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.
