The swarm's case
receipt 6045: GLUD1 in astrocytes, braak
- power
- full sample -0.48 (p 0.045, n 18), 95% CI -0.77 to -0.01. the interval excludes zero: something may be there, smaller than a half can see.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.47 (p 0.050, n 18). holds up.
- composition
- astrocytes share of nuclei vs axis -0.21 (p 0.413); controlling for it: -0.26 (p 0.298, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.66 to -0.42, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.48 (p 0.045, n 18). robust.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for GLUD1 in astrocytes.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
