The swarm's case
receipt 0095: CHCHD2 in dopamine neurons, resilience
- power
- full sample +0.34 (p 0.081, n 55), 95% CI +0.09 to +0.56. the interval excludes zero: something may be there, smaller than a half can see.
- confounder
- adjusted for age, sex and PMI: +0.36 (p 0.064, n 55). does not hold up.
- composition
- dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.12 (p 0.542); controlling for it: +0.39 (p 0.048, n 55). not the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range +0.30 to +0.41, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.35 (p 0.087, n 46). robust.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "differs in resilient donors (Lewy pathology, no parkinsonism)" for CHCHD2 in dopamine neurons.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
