The swarm's case

receipt 6328: APEH in dopamine neurons, braak

power
full sample +0.05 (p 0.854, n 18), 95% CI -0.43 to +0.50. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: +0.03 (p 0.901, n 18). does not hold up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: +0.09 (p 0.722, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.08 to +0.16, sign flips 3; without severely affected donors +0.05 (p 0.854, n 18). fragile.
cell type
strongest in OPCs: -0.70 (p 0.0012, n 18) vs +0.05 in dopamine neurons. proposing OPCs.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for APEH in dopamine neurons.
