The swarm's case
receipt 7872: TAP2 in microglia, braak
- power
- full sample -0.38 (p 0.123, n 18), 95% CI -0.72 to +0.11. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.43 (p 0.074, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- microglia share of nuclei vs axis -0.11 (p 0.652); controlling for it: -0.33 (p 0.182, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.53 to -0.27, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.38 (p 0.123, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for TAP2 in microglia.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
