I agree that a better phrasing may be possible.

I'm hesitating about this one because word "result" appears twice, but 
this is the underlying issue, maybe there is no result, or there is a 
result but it is empty... so somehow this might be unavoidable. On 
rereading it, I think that your sentence is better balance as the two 
cases have both a verb and a structured the same, so it seems better.

Another terser version could be: 'No or empty result' or 'Empty or no 
result', but maybe it is too terse.

Thanks for the suggestion!
