Swarm cases

receipt 11842: PGM2L1 in dopamine neurons, braak

power
full sample +0.53 (p 0.025, n 18), 95% CI +0.08 to +0.80. the interval excludes zero: something may be there, smaller than a half can see.
confounder
adjusted for sex: +0.45 (p 0.059, n 18). does not hold up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: +0.47 (p 0.050, n 18). not the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range +0.47 to +0.59, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.53 (p 0.025, n 18). robust.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for PGM2L1 in dopamine neurons.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.
