A Practical Example Demonstrating the Utility of Single-world Intervention Graphs.
A Practical Example Demonstrating the Utility of Single-world Intervention Graphs
Challenge
Single-world intervention graphs—which integrate the potential outcomes framework explicitly into causal diagrams—had been developed theoretically but lacked a practical worked example demonstrating their utility for identifying causal effects in the presence of selection bias.
Solution
Target RWE researchers and UNC collaborators published a practical example in Epidemiology demonstrating how SWIGs supplement traditional causal DAGs to reveal identifiability conditions necessary to estimate treatment effects from observed data in a vaccine trial with dropout.
