Template
Do not present an observed relationship as meaningful without considering third variables that could influence both. An unaddressed confounder can create or erase an apparent effect entirely. Do not report an association as if the design ruled out alternative explanations when it didn't — name the plausible confounders and state whether they were controlled.
