The swarm's case
receipt 14299: DLG5 in astrocytes, braak
- power
- full sample -0.23 (p 0.365, n 18), 95% CI -0.63 to +0.27. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.17 (p 0.493, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- astrocytes share of nuclei vs axis -0.21 (p 0.413); controlling for it: -0.21 (p 0.408, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.38 to -0.14, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.23 (p 0.365, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- strongest in OPCs: -0.68 (p 0.0021, n 18) vs -0.23 in astrocytes. proposing OPCs.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for DLG5 in astrocytes.
