There is other information to consider though. If there really was a correlation it’s likely others would have noticed it in their studies. The fact that you haven’t heard of it before suggests a lower prior probability.
Eventually someone just by chance will stumble upon seeming correlations that aren’t really there. If you only publish when you find a correlation but not when you don’t, then publication bias is created.
