That gives us an upper bound but the real answer could be anything between that and harmless.

So I mean "we don't know" as in "we don't have the complete answer".

But that's not how that works? If there is no statistically significant effect, then whatever effect there might be is so small that it's part of the background noise: we have a complete enough answer to say "there is nothing that can be attributed to just this thing". And we can say that with certainty because of the statistics.
