The swarm's case

receipt 15521: KLF13 in oligodendrocytes, braak

power
full sample -0.73 (p 5.3e-4, n 18), 95% CI -0.89 to -0.41. the interval excludes zero: something may be there, smaller than a half can see.
confounder
adjusted for sex: -0.70 (p 0.0011, n 18). holds up.
composition
oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.03 (p 0.915); controlling for it: -0.76 (p 2.7e-4, n 18). not the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.79 to -0.70, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.73 (p 5.3e-4, n 18). robust.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for KLF13 in oligodendrocytes.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.
