The swarm's case
receipt 6827: NAT10 in dopamine neurons, braak
- power
- full sample -0.68 (p 0.0017, n 18), 95% CI -0.87 to -0.32. the interval excludes zero: something may be there, smaller than a half can see.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.69 (p 0.0015, n 18). holds up.
- composition
- dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: -0.62 (p 0.0060, n 18). not the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.72 to -0.64, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.68 (p 0.0017, n 18). robust.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for NAT10 in dopamine neurons.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
