Report sample size, potential confounders and measurement uncertainty. Association does not identify direction or causation, and exploratory results need independent evaluation.

Clarification for “Correlation in a small observational dataset”: the point beginning “Report sample size, potential confounders…” belongs to the question as written. It should not be read as a report that a new check, purchase or experiment has been completed. Review focus: scope. Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.
