receipt 12741: RFX4 in dopamine neurons, braak

power: full sample +0.26 (p 0.302, n 18), 95% CI -0.24 to +0.65. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder: adjusted for sex: +0.24 (p 0.332, n 18). does not hold up.
composition: dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: +0.26 (p 0.302, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic: leave-one-out range +0.17 to +0.40, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.26 (p 0.302, n 18). fragile.
cell type: no other cell group does better.
axis: no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for RFX4 in dopamine neurons.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.

receipt 12740: RFX4 in astrocytes, braak

power: full sample +0.09 (p 0.715, n 18), 95% CI -0.39 to +0.54. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder: adjusted for sex: +0.09 (p 0.715, n 18). does not hold up.
composition: astrocytes share of nuclei vs axis -0.21 (p 0.413); controlling for it: +0.12 (p 0.640, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic: leave-one-out range -0.04 to +0.18, sign flips 2; without severely affected donors +0.09 (p 0.715, n 18). fragile.
cell type: no other cell group does better.
axis: no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for RFX4 in astrocytes.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.
