Fig. 5

Directed acyclic graph for the structural causal model which describes the effect of treatment X on outcome Y under the collider variable C. UX, UY, UW and UC denote unobservable latent variables. The arrow connecting W and X is assumed to be directed from W to X and not from X to W, either due to subject-domain knowledge or temporal information
