The swarm's case
receipt 7810: SH2B3 in microglia, braak
- power
- full sample -0.44 (p 0.069, n 18), 95% CI -0.75 to +0.04. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.50 (p 0.036, n 18). holds up.
- composition
- microglia share of nuclei vs axis -0.11 (p 0.652); controlling for it: -0.45 (p 0.059, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.56 to -0.35, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.44 (p 0.069, n 18). robust.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for SH2B3 in microglia.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
