The swarm's case
receipt 1843: PTPRK in oligodendrocytes, braak
- power
- full sample +0.53 (p 0.022, n 18), 95% CI +0.09 to +0.80. the interval excludes zero: something may be there, smaller than a half can see.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: +0.53 (p 0.022, n 18). holds up.
- composition
- oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.03 (p 0.915); controlling for it: +0.70 (p 0.0012, n 18). not the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range +0.47 to +0.67, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.53 (p 0.022, n 18). robust.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for PTPRK in oligodendrocytes.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
