The swarm's case
receipt 0082: NDUFS5 in dopamine neurons, resilience
- power
- full sample +0.37 (p 0.061, n 55), 95% CI +0.11 to +0.58. the interval excludes zero: something may be there, smaller than a half can see.
- confounder
- adjusted for age, sex and PMI: +0.41 (p 0.037, n 55). holds up.
- composition
- dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.12 (p 0.542); controlling for it: +0.42 (p 0.034, n 55). not the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range +0.32 to +0.50, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.39 (p 0.052, n 46). robust.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "differs in resilient donors (Lewy pathology, no parkinsonism)" for NDUFS5 in dopamine neurons.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
