Conclusions in our study: "X really does not seem to by doing Y" Paper citing our study: "X is certainly doing Y" OK, then 🥲

Reading a co-reviewer's comments who suggests that the authors should have ideally conducted an RCT to establish causality between mental disorders and premature mortality. Now I've seen it all!

What terminology does #episky prefer for "X decreasing the risk of Y"? Negative association? Inverse association? Dissociation? Others?

In 2022, NHS England commissioned us to model the potential longer-term trends in alcohol-related deaths based on evidence about changes in alcohol consumption during the pandemic. We tested 5 scenarios as to how these changes might evolve (the lines). The reality is much worse (the dots).
