Well it has a conclusion, they just acknowledge the limitations of their study and suggest more research is needed on the subject. That’s a pretty standard conclusion from what I recall of my time in academia! But to make up for wasting your time, here’s my favourite little video that always makes me smile: https://youtu.be/VCKg_tbYjgshelp
Yes indeed. The last thing you want to do in a paper is make a conclusion you cannot back up with the data.
And if you have already done the work… there’s no point in not publishing it. Saying what you did and that it gave inconclusive results is still useful because it means that any other work in this area needs to go further, or have a different structure/look for something else.
It is often difficult to get conclusive data. The world is messy and that’s just the reality you have to work with.
