Swarm cases

receipt 14380: NRK in dopamine neurons, braak

power
full sample +0.31 (p 0.218, n 18), 95% CI -0.19 to +0.68. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: +0.60 (p 0.0083, n 18). holds up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: +0.63 (p 0.0053, n 18). not the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range +0.20 to +0.39, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.31 (p 0.218, n 18). fragile.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for NRK in dopamine neurons.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.
