The swarm's case
receipt 0093: TMEM175 in dopamine neurons, resilience
- power
- full sample +0.19 (p 0.323, n 55), 95% CI -0.07 to +0.44. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for age, sex and PMI: +0.12 (p 0.556, n 55). does not hold up.
- composition
- dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.12 (p 0.542); controlling for it: +0.22 (p 0.256, n 55). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range +0.12 to +0.31, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.24 (p 0.241, n 46). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- braak beats resilience for TMEM175 in dopamine neurons: +0.49 (p 2.1e-6, n 84). proposing braak.
