The swarm's case
receipt 6937: NAA11 in astrocytes, braak
- power
- full sample +0.17 (p 0.509, n 18), 95% CI -0.33 to +0.59. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: +0.15 (p 0.555, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- astrocytes share of nuclei vs axis -0.21 (p 0.413); controlling for it: +0.13 (p 0.597, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range +0.04 to +0.33, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.17 (p 0.509, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for NAA11 in astrocytes.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
