When a big part of villain's range includes the outs you need, you can sometimes discount those outs to weigh your decision in the hand. Otherwise, there's no way of really knowing who folded what or what's still out there.
Say you have QJ and are drawing to the straight. The board is KT27 and villain has raised pre from UTG and fired both turn and river. His range could be heavily weighted towards AK here so you hypothetically could remove an Ace from your outs. So best case scenario is that you'd split if the Ace falls on the river, but you'd scoop with a 9. I'm sure there are much better examples, but you get the point.
There's also times where you and villain are drawing to the same hand but, villain is drawing to the nuts. Example - you're drawing to the straight, where villain has a straight draw and the nut flush draw.
