The swarm's case
receipt 13148: EDNRB in astrocytes, braak
- power
- full sample -0.17 (p 0.498, n 18), 95% CI -0.59 to +0.32. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.07 (p 0.781, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- astrocytes share of nuclei vs axis -0.21 (p 0.413); controlling for it: +0.11 (p 0.664, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.30 to -0.06, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.17 (p 0.498, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for EDNRB in astrocytes.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
