Directed acyclic graphs on selection bias in Mendelian randomisation analyses. Directed acyclic graphs where G represents the instrumental variable, X the exposure, U the confounder, Y the outcome and where selection (S) leads to selection bias if it is dependent on levels of the exposure (panel A) or outcome (panel B).
