Time-symmetric interpretations of quantum theory are often presented as featuring retrocausal effects in addition to the usual forward notion of causation. This paper examines the ontological implications of certain time-symmetric theories, and finds that no dynamical notion of causation applies to them, either forward or backward. It is concluded that such theories actually describe a static picture, in which the notion of causation is relegated to a descriptor of static relationships among events. In addition, these theories lead to an epistemic rather than ontologically referring, realist view of quantum states.
