PLAIN FORMS of (Verb, Noun, i and na Adjectives) + からといって
文1 からといって、 文2
In general means that " just because 文1 , does not necessarily mean..". Although after the pattern in lots of cases there go negative sentenses (否定形), it is not necessarily always so.
What comes after the pattern showes or explains that in truth it is differ from what could be thought of 文1.
