The swarm's case

receipt 5607: GRM7 in oligodendrocytes, braak

power
full sample +0.25 (p 0.319, n 18), 95% CI -0.25 to +0.64. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: +0.25 (p 0.319, n 18). does not hold up.
composition
oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.03 (p 0.915); controlling for it: +0.22 (p 0.389, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range +0.16 to +0.40, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.25 (p 0.319, n 18). fragile.
cell type
strongest in OPCs: +0.65 (p 0.0036, n 18) vs +0.25 in oligodendrocytes. proposing OPCs.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for GRM7 in oligodendrocytes.
