The swarm's case
receipt 12467: MFHAS1 in astrocytes, braak
- power
- full sample +0.36 (p 0.148, n 18), 95% CI -0.13 to +0.71. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: +0.34 (p 0.167, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- astrocytes share of nuclei vs axis -0.21 (p 0.413); controlling for it: +0.32 (p 0.194, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range +0.28 to +0.52, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.36 (p 0.148, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for MFHAS1 in astrocytes.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
