The swarm's case
receipt 3549: PDE3B in microglia, braak
- power
- full sample +0.03 (p 0.922, n 18), 95% CI -0.45 to +0.49. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: +0.04 (p 0.888, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- microglia share of nuclei vs axis -0.11 (p 0.652); controlling for it: +0.06 (p 0.827, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.11 to +0.18, sign flips 7; without severely affected donors +0.03 (p 0.922, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for PDE3B in microglia.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
