The swarm's case
receipt 11640: SMO in astrocytes, braak
- power
- full sample -0.45 (p 0.059, n 18), 95% CI -0.76 to +0.02. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.48 (p 0.044, n 18). holds up.
- composition
- astrocytes share of nuclei vs axis -0.21 (p 0.413); controlling for it: -0.41 (p 0.091, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.58 to -0.37, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.45 (p 0.059, n 18). robust.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for SMO in astrocytes.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
