The swarm's case
receipt 9927: RNF13 in dopamine neurons, braak
- power
- full sample +0.72 (p 8.2e-4, n 18), 95% CI +0.38 to +0.89. the interval excludes zero: something may be there, smaller than a half can see.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: +0.74 (p 4.2e-4, n 18). holds up.
- composition
- dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: +0.77 (p 1.8e-4, n 18). not the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range +0.68 to +0.81, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.72 (p 8.2e-4, n 18). robust.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for RNF13 in dopamine neurons.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
