The swarm's case
receipt 11728: UBE2E2 in microglia, braak
- power
- full sample -0.01 (p 0.983, n 18), 95% CI -0.47 to +0.46. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: +0.05 (p 0.854, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- microglia share of nuclei vs axis -0.11 (p 0.652); controlling for it: -0.03 (p 0.908, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.12 to +0.13, sign flips 6; without severely affected donors -0.01 (p 0.983, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for UBE2E2 in microglia.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
