Swarm cases

receipt 6588: YKT6 in dopamine neurons, braak

power
full sample -0.14 (p 0.573, n 18), 95% CI -0.57 to +0.35. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: -0.18 (p 0.476, n 18). does not hold up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: -0.23 (p 0.360, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.28 to -0.04, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.14 (p 0.573, n 18). fragile.
cell type
strongest in OPCs: -0.60 (p 0.0089, n 18) vs -0.14 in dopamine neurons. proposing OPCs.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for YKT6 in dopamine neurons.
