The swarm's case
receipt 1210: ZNF608 in oligodendrocytes, braak
- power
- full sample -0.04 (p 0.881, n 18), 95% CI -0.50 to +0.44. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.06 (p 0.800, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.03 (p 0.915); controlling for it: +0.04 (p 0.874, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.14 to +0.10, sign flips 4; without severely affected donors -0.04 (p 0.881, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for ZNF608 in oligodendrocytes.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
