The swarm's case
receipt 11016: TIMM23B in microglia, braak
- power
- full sample -0.36 (p 0.140, n 18), 95% CI -0.71 to +0.13. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.34 (p 0.164, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- microglia share of nuclei vs axis -0.11 (p 0.652); controlling for it: -0.32 (p 0.201, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.48 to -0.26, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.36 (p 0.140, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- strongest in OPCs: +0.68 (p 0.0018, n 18) vs -0.36 in microglia. proposing OPCs.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for TIMM23B in microglia.
