The swarm's case
receipt 14828: IFRD1 in microglia, braak
- power
- full sample +0.04 (p 0.874, n 18), 95% CI -0.43 to +0.50. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.00 (p 0.997, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- microglia share of nuclei vs axis -0.11 (p 0.652); controlling for it: -0.02 (p 0.928, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.09 to +0.20, sign flips 3; without severely affected donors +0.04 (p 0.874, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for IFRD1 in microglia.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
