The swarm's case
receipt 0145: GSK3B in dopamine neurons, resilience
- power
- full sample +0.03 (p 0.866, n 55), 95% CI -0.23 to +0.30. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for age, sex and PMI: +0.10 (p 0.614, n 55). does not hold up.
- composition
- dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.12 (p 0.542); controlling for it: +0.13 (p 0.501, n 55). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.06 to +0.12, sign flips 3; without severely affected donors +0.03 (p 0.887, n 46). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "differs in resilient donors (Lewy pathology, no parkinsonism)" for GSK3B in dopamine neurons.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
