receipt 5425: GPR37L1 in dopamine neurons, braak

power
full sample -0.00 (p 0.997, n 18), 95% CI -0.47 to +0.47. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: -0.00 (p 0.997, n 18). does not hold up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: -0.00 (p 0.997, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.14 to +0.08, sign flips 10; without severely affected donors -0.00 (p 0.997, n 18). fragile.
cell type
strongest in microglia: -0.67 (p 0.0024, n 18) vs -0.00 in dopamine neurons. proposing microglia.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for GPR37L1 in dopamine neurons.
