Graph illustrating that correlational estimates can vastly overestimate causal statistical estimates due to pervasive confounding; in this case, of exercise programs and health.

Com­pi­la­tion of stud­ies com­par­ing ob­ser­va­tional re­sults with ran­dom­ized ex­per­i­men­tal re­sults on the same in­ter­ven­tion, com­piled from med­i­cine/eco­nom­ics/psy­chol­ogy, in­di­cat­ing that a large frac­tion of the time (al­though prob­a­bly not a ma­jor­ity) cor­re­la­tion ≠ causal­ity.
