Absence of evidence after you've spent a lot of effort looking for evidence IS evidence of no X.

After doing a lot of research into homeopathy we are now very confident that it does not work and cannot work.

If we know that it cannot work, then we have evidence of no X, where X is the possibility of homeopathy working.
