The swarm's case
receipt 5391: CX3CR1 in microglia, braak
- power
- full sample +0.37 (p 0.127, n 18), 95% CI -0.11 to +0.72. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: +0.37 (p 0.127, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- microglia share of nuclei vs axis -0.11 (p 0.652); controlling for it: +0.54 (p 0.022, n 18). not the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range +0.30 to +0.47, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.37 (p 0.127, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for CX3CR1 in microglia.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
