The swarm's case
receipt 0125: CHRM3 in dopamine neurons, resilience
- power
- full sample +0.17 (p 0.377, n 55), 95% CI -0.10 to +0.42. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for age, sex and PMI: +0.19 (p 0.344, n 55). does not hold up.
- composition
- dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.12 (p 0.542); controlling for it: +0.19 (p 0.333, n 55). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range +0.11 to +0.28, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.18 (p 0.374, n 46). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "differs in resilient donors (Lewy pathology, no parkinsonism)" for CHRM3 in dopamine neurons.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
