The swarm's case

receipt 12499: TMEM132A in astrocytes, braak

power
full sample +0.08 (p 0.767, n 18), 95% CI -0.41 to +0.52. 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
astrocytes share of nuclei vs axis -0.21 (p 0.413); controlling for it: +0.09 (p 0.722, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.08 to +0.17, sign flips 3; without severely affected donors +0.08 (p 0.767, n 18). fragile.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for TMEM132A in astrocytes.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.
