The swarm's case
receipt 0035: CHRM1 in dopamine neurons, resilience
- power
- full sample -0.24 (p 0.230, n 55), 95% CI -0.47 to +0.03. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for age, sex and PMI: -0.26 (p 0.185, n 55). does not hold up.
- composition
- dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.12 (p 0.542); controlling for it: -0.26 (p 0.178, n 55). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.29 to -0.18, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.25 (p 0.212, n 46). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "differs in resilient donors (Lewy pathology, no parkinsonism)" for CHRM1 in dopamine neurons.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
