The swarm's case
receipt 0045: GRIN2B in dopamine neurons, resilience
- power
- full sample -0.29 (p 0.147, n 55), 95% CI -0.51 to -0.02. the interval excludes zero: something may be there, smaller than a half can see.
- confounder
- adjusted for age, sex and PMI: -0.29 (p 0.135, n 55). does not hold up.
- composition
- dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.12 (p 0.542); controlling for it: -0.32 (p 0.105, n 55). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.40 to -0.22, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.28 (p 0.160, n 46). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "differs in resilient donors (Lewy pathology, no parkinsonism)" for GRIN2B in dopamine neurons.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
