The most common Spanish word for “findings” is “resultados” — use 'resultados' when referring to the outcomes or data produced by scientific experiments, research studies, or any formal process where measurable outcomes are expected.
resultados
rresul-TAH-dohsre.sulˈt̪a.ðos
Examples

We need to wait for the laboratory results before deciding.
Ella obtuvo excelentes resultados en su examen final.
She achieved excellent scores (results) on her final exam.
Los resultados de las elecciones se anunciarán a medianoche.
The election outcomes (results) will be announced at midnight.
It's Plural and Masculine
This word is the plural form of 'el resultado' (the result). Because it is masculine, any describing words (adjectives or articles) must also be plural and masculine: los buenos resultados.
Confusing Noun and Verb
Mistake: “Using 'resultados' when you mean the action of resulting, e.g., 'El experimento resultados bien.'”
Correction: Use the verb 'resultar' instead: 'El experimento *resultó* bien' (The experiment turned out well).
conclusiones
kon-kloo-syoh-nesskonkluˈsjones
Examples
No deberías sacar conclusiones sin tener toda la información.
You shouldn't draw conclusions without having all the information.
Llegamos a la misma conclusión después de ver los datos.
We reached the same conclusion after seeing the data.
Las conclusiones del estudio fueron muy interesantes.
The findings of the study were very interesting.
Gender and Number
This word is always feminine. Even though it ends in '-es', remember it's the plural of 'conclusión'. Use 'las' or 'unas' with it.
Using 'hacer' instead of 'sacar'
Mistake: “hacer conclusiones”
Correction: sacar conclusiones or llegar a conclusiones. In Spanish, we 'pull out' (sacar) or 'arrive at' (llegar a) a conclusion rather than 'making' one.
evidencias
eh-vee-DEN-see-ahse.βiˈðen.sjas
Examples
El detective recogió todas las evidencias del crimen.
The detective collected all the evidence of the crime.
Las evidencias mostraron que la hipótesis era correcta.
The proofs showed that the hypothesis was correct.
Necesitamos más evidencias para tomar una decisión final.
We need more evidence to make a final decision.
Always Plural in English Translation
Even though 'evidencias' is plural in Spanish, its most common English translation, 'evidence,' is often treated as uncountable (singular) in English. Think of it as 'pieces of evidence'.
Confusing Evidencia vs. Prueba
Mistake: “Using 'evidencia' when referring to a general test or trial (e.g., 'la evidencia de manejo').”
Correction: Use 'prueba' for general tests or trials. 'Evidencia' specifically refers to factual proof.
Resultados vs. Conclusiones
