approaching zero
... assuming the sentence continues "zu null tendierenden"
"Existierende Korrelationsstudien zeigen zudem zwar keinen zu null tendierenden, aber dennoch einen eher schwachen Zusammenhang zwischen kognitiver Leistungsfähigkeit und Fatigue."

Wie stark ist der Zusammenhang?
Die Maßzahlen der Korrelation liegen betragsmäßig meist in einem Bereich von Null (=kein Zusammenhang) bis Eins (=starker Zusammenhang
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korrelation
As it approaches zero there is less of a relationship (closer to uncorrelated). The closer the coefficient is to either −1 or 1, the stronger the correlation between the variables.

a weak but ...
What else depends on the context! I's probably something like "a weak but genuine correlation/association/relationship", "a weak but non-negligible correlation/association/relationship",
Die Frage nach einem kausalen Zusammenhang kann anhand der bisherigen Datenlage nicht beantwortet werden. Existierende Korrelationsstudien zeigen zudem zwar keinen zu null tendierenden, aber dennoch einen eher schwachen Zusammenhang zwischen kognitiver Leistungsfähigkeit und Fatigue.

Just noticed Johanna already had the same link I found, and gave the URL.
It's probably a good idea to read what other people say before answering but I prefer to arrive at my own conclusions first!

And it is not a case of being lazy; did anyone ever think of confidentiality?
