The swarm's case
receipt 12516: BHLHE41 in microglia, braak
- power
- full sample +0.03 (p 0.901, n 18), 95% CI -0.44 to +0.49. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.03 (p 0.908, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- microglia share of nuclei vs axis -0.11 (p 0.652); controlling for it: +0.11 (p 0.658, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.06 to +0.18, sign flips 6; without severely affected donors +0.03 (p 0.901, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for BHLHE41 in microglia.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
