Use of non-causal language doesnt help when everyone (even the authors) interprets the findings as causal. This paper by @rwyeh explains nicely why we need to do better. https://t.co/FOKmTH3fQL

    @MaartenvSmeden This opinion piece by @rwyeh expresses my views on this topic well. Most observational studies of comparative effectiveness are only relevant with a causal interpretation. We need to acknowledge this and insist that authors not skirt the issue. https://t.co/FOKmTH3fQL
