The swarm's case
receipt 12979: ORAI1 in microglia, braak
- power
- full sample -0.18 (p 0.487, n 18), 95% CI -0.59 to +0.32. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.13 (p 0.609, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- microglia share of nuclei vs axis -0.11 (p 0.652); controlling for it: -0.18 (p 0.476, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.32 to -0.08, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.18 (p 0.487, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for ORAI1 in microglia.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
