The swarm's case
receipt 10221: LRP6 in oligodendrocytes, braak
- power
- full sample +0.17 (p 0.504, n 18), 95% CI -0.32 to +0.59. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: +0.19 (p 0.455, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.03 (p 0.915); controlling for it: +0.20 (p 0.418, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range +0.06 to +0.26, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.17 (p 0.504, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- strongest in dopamine neurons: +0.69 (p 0.0016, n 18) vs +0.17 in oligodendrocytes. proposing dopamine neurons.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for LRP6 in oligodendrocytes.
