The swarm's case

receipt 10849: RAPGEF3 in astrocytes, braak

power
full sample +0.21 (p 0.398, n 18), 95% CI -0.28 to +0.62. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: +0.25 (p 0.319, n 18). does not hold up.
composition
astrocytes share of nuclei vs axis -0.21 (p 0.413); controlling for it: +0.19 (p 0.455, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range +0.12 to +0.37, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.21 (p 0.398, n 18). fragile.
cell type
strongest in oligodendrocytes: -0.67 (p 0.0022, n 18) vs +0.21 in astrocytes. proposing oligodendrocytes.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for RAPGEF3 in astrocytes.
