Swarm cases

receipt 3978: SOX10 in dopamine neurons, braak

power
full sample +0.31 (p 0.204, n 18), 95% CI -0.18 to +0.68. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: +0.37 (p 0.135, n 18). does not hold up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: +0.43 (p 0.074, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range +0.22 to +0.43, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.31 (p 0.204, n 18). fragile.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for SOX10 in dopamine neurons.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.

receipt 3977: SOX10 in oligodendrocytes, braak

composition
oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.03 (p 0.915); controlling for it: +0.03 (p 0.922, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.26 to -0.00, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.10 (p 0.683, n 18). fragile.
cell type
