trial outcome

Jury's final decision

Trial outcome is the result or verdict of a legal proceeding—whether someone is found guilty, acquitted, or a civil case is decided for plaintiff or defendant.

The phrase also applies to clinical trials, where the outcome is what happened to participants: The trial outcome showed the drug reduced symptoms by 40%.
