The swarm's case
receipt 3637: RIN3 in microglia, braak
- power
- full sample -0.56 (p 0.016, n 18), 95% CI -0.81 to -0.12. the interval excludes zero: something may be there, smaller than a half can see.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.66 (p 0.0026, n 18). holds up.
- composition
- microglia share of nuclei vs axis -0.11 (p 0.652); controlling for it: -0.65 (p 0.0036, n 18). not the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.70 to -0.51, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.56 (p 0.016, n 18). robust.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for RIN3 in microglia.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
