The swarm's case
receipt 13287: HLA-DOB in astrocytes, braak
- power
- full sample -0.15 (p 0.544, n 18), 95% CI -0.58 to +0.34. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.33 (p 0.188, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- astrocytes share of nuclei vs axis -0.21 (p 0.413); controlling for it: -0.35 (p 0.150, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.27 to -0.04, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.15 (p 0.544, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for HLA-DOB in astrocytes.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
