The swarm's case
receipt 4982: DNER in oligodendrocytes, braak
- power
- full sample -0.16 (p 0.515, n 18), 95% CI -0.59 to +0.33. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.20 (p 0.424, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.03 (p 0.915); controlling for it: -0.30 (p 0.225, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.26 to -0.03, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.16 (p 0.515, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for DNER in oligodendrocytes.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
