The swarm's case
receipt 9400: CDIP1 in astrocytes, braak
- power
- full sample +0.56 (p 0.017, n 18), 95% CI +0.12 to +0.81. the interval excludes zero: something may be there, smaller than a half can see.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: +0.55 (p 0.018, n 18). holds up.
- composition
- astrocytes share of nuclei vs axis -0.21 (p 0.413); controlling for it: +0.46 (p 0.056, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range +0.49 to +0.70, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.56 (p 0.017, n 18). robust.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for CDIP1 in astrocytes.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
