The swarm's case

receipt 0108: NDUFB7 in dopamine neurons, resilience

power
full sample +0.03 (p 0.866, n 55), 95% CI -0.23 to +0.30. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for age, sex and PMI: +0.04 (p 0.833, n 55). does not hold up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.12 (p 0.542); controlling for it: +0.04 (p 0.850, n 55). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.03 to +0.09, sign flips 3; without severely affected donors +0.03 (p 0.887, n 46). fragile.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
axis
no measure beats "differs in resilient donors (Lewy pathology, no parkinsonism)" for NDUFB7 in dopamine neurons.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.
