receipt 9401: CDIP1 in dopamine neurons, braak

power: full sample -0.01 (p 0.962, n 18), 95% CI -0.48 to +0.46. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder: adjusted for sex: +0.04 (p 0.888, n 18). does not hold up.
composition: dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: -0.06 (p 0.820, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic: leave-one-out range -0.14 to +0.10, sign flips 10; without severely affected donors -0.01 (p 0.962, n 18). fragile.
cell type: no other cell group does better.
axis: no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for CDIP1 in dopamine neurons.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.

receipt 9400: CDIP1 in astrocytes, braak

power: full sample +0.56 (p 0.017, 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 0.018, n 18). holds up.
composition: astrocytes share of nuclei vs axis -0.21 (p 0.413); controlling for it: +0.46 (p 0.056, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic: leave-one-out range +0.49 to +0.70, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.56 (p 0.017, n 18). robust.
cell type: no other cell group does better.
axis: no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for CDIP1 in astrocytes.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.
