The swarm's case
receipt 0083: EIF4G1 in dopamine neurons, braak
- power
- full sample +0.00 (p 0.996, n 84), 95% CI -0.21 to +0.21. the interval sits on zero: probably nothing there.
- confounder
- adjusted for age, sex and PMI: +0.03 (p 0.788, n 84). does not hold up.
- composition
- dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis -0.72 (p 1.8e-14); controlling for it: -0.04 (p 0.745, n 84). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.02 to +0.03, sign flips 45; without severely affected donors +0.02 (p 0.855, n 75). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for EIF4G1 in dopamine neurons.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
