The swarm's case
receipt 0100: ITPKB in astrocytes, resilience
- power
- full sample -0.14 (p 0.474, n 55), 95% CI -0.39 to +0.13. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for age, sex and PMI: -0.11 (p 0.570, n 55). does not hold up.
- composition
- astrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.34 (p 0.084); controlling for it: -0.21 (p 0.283, n 55). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.25 to -0.08, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.14 (p 0.479, n 46). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "differs in resilient donors (Lewy pathology, no parkinsonism)" for ITPKB in astrocytes.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
