Makes claims about the functional relationship between inputs (e.g., an intervention) and patient-relevant outcomes, based on assumptions made about the mechanisms involved (Mechanisms are arrangements of parts/features of an observed phenomena that describe a stable relationship between its ‘inputs’ and ‘outputs’). Such reasoning will involve an inferential chain linking the intervention with a clinical outcome.
