Abstract

The article shares insight on how the evidence of mechanisms help in evaluating the relevance of epidemiological studies for a single patient. Two hypothetical cases are addressed using the conceptual framework of evidential pluralism to illustrate the potential role of evidence of mechanisms. Examples are cited that illustrate different possible functions for evidence of mechanisms of confirming efficacy and disconfirming efficacy.
