Swarm cases

receipt 15004: TRIM26 in dopamine neurons, braak

power
full sample -0.64 (p 0.0040, n 18), 95% CI -0.85 to -0.25. the interval excludes zero: something may be there, smaller than a half can see.
confounder
adjusted for sex: -0.70 (p 0.0012, n 18). holds up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: -0.70 (p 0.0012, n 18). not the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.74 to -0.60, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.64 (p 0.0040, n 18). robust.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for TRIM26 in dopamine neurons.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.

receipt 15003: TRIM26 in oligodendrocytes, braak

power
full sample -0.26 (p 0.302, n 18), 95% CI -0.65 to +0.24. 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
oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.03 (p 0.915); controlling for it: -0.27 (p 0.281, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.41 to -0.17, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.26 (p 0.302, n 18). fragile.
cell type
strongest in dopamine neurons: -0.64 (p 0.0040, n 18) vs -0.26 in oligodendrocytes. proposing dopamine neurons.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for TRIM26 in oligodendrocytes.
