The swarm's case
receipt 13031: PLSCR4 in astrocytes, braak
- power
- full sample -0.01 (p 0.976, n 18), 95% CI -0.47 to +0.46. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: +0.11 (p 0.671, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- astrocytes share of nuclei vs axis -0.21 (p 0.413); controlling for it: +0.14 (p 0.579, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.11 to +0.15, sign flips 9; without severely affected donors -0.01 (p 0.976, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for PLSCR4 in astrocytes.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
