The swarm's case
receipt 0089: GRIN3A in dopamine neurons, resilience
- power
- full sample -0.10 (p 0.599, n 55), 95% CI -0.36 to +0.17. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for age, sex and PMI: -0.14 (p 0.474, n 55). does not hold up.
- composition
- dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.12 (p 0.542); controlling for it: -0.14 (p 0.487, n 55). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.20 to -0.01, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.17 (p 0.388, n 46). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "differs in resilient donors (Lewy pathology, no parkinsonism)" for GRIN3A in dopamine neurons.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
