Swarm cases

receipt 12336: SLC44A1 in dopamine neurons, braak

power
full sample +0.11 (p 0.671, n 18), 95% CI -0.38 to +0.55. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: +0.08 (p 0.748, n 18). does not hold up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: +0.38 (p 0.120, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.01 to +0.25, sign flips 1; without severely affected donors +0.11 (p 0.671, n 18). fragile.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for SLC44A1 in dopamine neurons.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.

receipt 12335: SLC44A1 in oligodendrocytes, braak

composition
oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.03 (p 0.915); controlling for it: +0.27 (p 0.277, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.02 to +0.22, sign flips 2; without severely affected donors +0.09 (p 0.715, n 18). fragile.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
