Swarm cases

receipt 0059: MYO5A in oligodendrocytes, resilience

power
full sample -0.20 (p 0.313, n 55), 95% CI -0.44 to +0.07. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for age, sex and PMI: -0.21 (p 0.293, n 55). does not hold up.
composition
oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis -0.52 (p 0.0075); controlling for it: -0.05 (p 0.817, n 55). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.30 to -0.12, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.15 (p 0.463, n 46). fragile.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
axis
no measure beats "differs in resilient donors (Lewy pathology, no parkinsonism)" for MYO5A in oligodendrocytes.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.

receipt 0058: MYO5A in oligodendrocytes, braak

power
full sample +0.02 (p 0.860, n 84), 95% CI -0.20 to +0.23. the interval sits on zero: probably nothing there.
confounder
adjusted for age, sex and PMI: +0.04 (p 0.692, n 84). does not hold up.
composition
oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.09 (p 0.422); controlling for it: +0.01 (p 0.938, n 84). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.01 to +0.05, sign flips 5; without severely affected donors -0.07 (p 0.538, n 75). fragile.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for MYO5A in oligodendrocytes.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.
