The swarm's case

receipt 16164: SORBS1 in astrocytes, braak

power
full sample -0.02 (p 0.925, n 18), 95% CI -0.49 to +0.45. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: -0.04 (p 0.881, n 18). does not hold up.
composition
astrocytes share of nuclei vs axis -0.21 (p 0.413); controlling for it: -0.03 (p 0.915, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.16 to +0.08, sign flips 6; without severely affected donors -0.02 (p 0.925, n 18). fragile.
cell type
no other cell group does better.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for SORBS1 in astrocytes.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.
