The swarm's case
receipt 14560: HSPB6 in dopamine neurons, braak
- power
- full sample -0.41 (p 0.089, n 18), 95% CI -0.74 to +0.07. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.38 (p 0.118, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: -0.42 (p 0.086, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.59 to -0.34, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.41 (p 0.089, n 18). robust.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for HSPB6 in dopamine neurons.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
