Swarm cases

receipt 12468: MFHAS1 in dopamine neurons, braak

power
full sample -0.55 (p 0.018, n 18), 95% CI -0.81 to -0.11. the interval excludes zero: something may be there, smaller than a half can see.
confounder
adjusted for sex: -0.49 (p 0.037, n 18). holds up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: -0.49 (p 0.040, n 18). not the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.73 to -0.50, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.55 (p 0.018, n 18). robust.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for MFHAS1 in dopamine neurons.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.

receipt 12467: MFHAS1 in astrocytes, braak

power
full sample +0.36 (p 0.148, n 18), 95% CI -0.13 to +0.71. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: +0.34 (p 0.167, n 18). does not hold up.
composition
astrocytes share of nuclei vs axis -0.21 (p 0.413); controlling for it: +0.32 (p 0.194, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range +0.28 to +0.52, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.36 (p 0.148, n 18). fragile.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for MFHAS1 in astrocytes.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.
