The swarm's case
receipt 2464: HLA-DRB1 in microglia, braak
- power
- full sample +0.06 (p 0.814, n 18), 95% CI -0.42 to +0.51. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.10 (p 0.702, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- microglia share of nuclei vs axis -0.11 (p 0.652); controlling for it: -0.01 (p 0.976, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.03 to +0.22, sign flips 5; without severely affected donors +0.06 (p 0.814, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for HLA-DRB1 in microglia.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
