The swarm's case
receipt 15044: RGS20 in astrocytes, braak
- power
- full sample -0.01 (p 0.956, n 18), 95% CI -0.48 to +0.46. 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
- astrocytes share of nuclei vs axis -0.21 (p 0.413); controlling for it: -0.04 (p 0.861, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.12 to +0.09, sign flips 7; without severely affected donors -0.01 (p 0.956, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for RGS20 in astrocytes.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
