Just to add a little info regarding cause and effect. In order for cause and effect to be establish there are 3 things that need to be established.
1. One effect happened before the other
2. One effect has a relationship with the other effect.
3. Lastly, you need to establish that there are not other possible explanations.
That's why it's super duper rare to find any research that shows cause and effect. As CRS pointed out research generally establishes correlations.
