Swarm cases

receipt 4431: MAPKAPK2 in dopamine neurons, braak

power
full sample -0.70 (p 0.0011, n 18), 95% CI -0.88 to -0.35. the interval excludes zero: something may be there, smaller than a half can see.
confounder
adjusted for sex: -0.70 (p 0.0013, n 18). holds up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: -0.82 (p 3.0e-5, n 18). not the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.84 to -0.67, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.70 (p 0.0011, n 18). robust.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for MAPKAPK2 in dopamine neurons.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.
