Swarm cases

receipt 7422: KDM6B in dopamine neurons, braak

power
full sample -0.42 (p 0.084, n 18), 95% CI -0.74 to +0.06. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: -0.42 (p 0.084, n 18). does not hold up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: -0.53 (p 0.022, n 18). not the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.60 to -0.34, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.42 (p 0.084, n 18). robust.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for KDM6B in dopamine neurons.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.
