The swarm's case
receipt 0011: PRKN in dopamine neurons, resilience
- power
- full sample +0.23 (p 0.247, n 55), 95% CI -0.04 to +0.46. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for age, sex and PMI: +0.26 (p 0.178, n 55). does not hold up.
- composition
- dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.12 (p 0.542); controlling for it: +0.24 (p 0.214, n 55). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range +0.15 to +0.32, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.26 (p 0.193, n 46). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "differs in resilient donors (Lewy pathology, no parkinsonism)" for PRKN in dopamine neurons.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
