The swarm's case
receipt 12511: ST8SIA1 in oligodendrocytes, braak
- power
- full sample +0.04 (p 0.874, n 18), 95% CI -0.43 to +0.50. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: +0.06 (p 0.827, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.03 (p 0.915); controlling for it: -0.06 (p 0.827, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.08 to +0.16, sign flips 6; without severely affected donors +0.04 (p 0.874, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for ST8SIA1 in oligodendrocytes.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
