The swarm's case
receipt 13267: MGAT3 in oligodendrocytes, braak
- power
- full sample -0.43 (p 0.077, n 18), 95% CI -0.75 to +0.05. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.42 (p 0.086, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.03 (p 0.915); controlling for it: -0.48 (p 0.046, n 18). not the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.61 to -0.35, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.43 (p 0.077, n 18). robust.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for MGAT3 in oligodendrocytes.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
