You're over thinking it.
The statement is just specific. "Causes" versus "triggered" is not a distinction. "Concluded" would be the same as "an extremely strong link".
A more accurate analysis would be - "no studies, conducted at a rigor to make a definitive claim, have found paraquat causes Parkinson's".
The literature is full of "links" based on shaky analysis using retrospective data while attempting to adjusted for confounding factors. But no serious scientist would say that rises to the level of "proof that X causes Y".
