Data, design, and background knowledge in etiologic inference
Epidemiology.

Abstract
I use two examples to demonstrate that an appropriate etiologic analysis of an epidemiologic study depends as much on study design and background subject-matter knowledge as on the data. The demonstration is facilitated by the use of causal graphs.
