The excitement-to-disappointment pipeline of medical research! That initial thrill when you discover a study that might actually help you... until you realize it's just observational. Translation: "We noticed these things happened at the same time, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ on whether one causes the other." Observational studies are basically science saying "These two things hung out together, but we didn't actually set them up on a date." No randomization, no controlled variables—just vibes and correlations. The statistical equivalent of "trust me bro" medicine!
