One of the worst feelings is putting together a research project (lit review + research question), spending hours analyzing the data, and then realizing that all of your data is insignificant and that there really is no association between A and B. Just had this happen and I feel so UGHHH. I don't get how folks are publishing 20 papers without an RY. Oh well.
i'm about to submit a paper showing no significant findings...these can still be important...

my PIs would (unfortunately) never let this research see the light of day
it could be useful if its something that people would reasonably assume to have an association and you are showing how it in fact, does not. Maybe reach out to someone and see what they think and if it would still be useful information to share with the derm community. Obv there are some situations where it may be not worth it even if youve already sunk some time
