The swarm's case
receipt 0032: MAPT in oligodendrocytes, resilience
- power
- full sample -0.29 (p 0.135, n 55), 95% CI -0.52 to -0.03. the interval excludes zero: something may be there, smaller than a half can see.
- confounder
- adjusted for age, sex and PMI: -0.26 (p 0.185, n 55). does not hold up.
- composition
- oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis -0.52 (p 0.0075); controlling for it: -0.15 (p 0.449, n 55). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.40 to -0.22, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.35 (p 0.087, n 46). robust.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "differs in resilient donors (Lewy pathology, no parkinsonism)" for MAPT in oligodendrocytes.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
