English term or phrase: meaningless metric

Contexto:

While it is recognized that it is usually difficult to obtain and validate accurate exposure data, an estimate of the number of patients exposed should be provided along with the method used to derive the estimate. An explanation and justification should be presented if the number of patients is impossible to estimate or is a MEANINGLESS METRIC.

¿Si el número es insignificante, muy pequeño?
Gracias de antemano.

Spanish translation:parámetro/dato irrelevante

Explanation:
Según entiendo, en este caso "meaningless" no significa "pequeño" sino "irrelevante".

Creo que significa que se tiene que incluir el número de pacientes, salvo que este dato no sea relevante para el estudio en cuestión.

Es como yo lo traduciría.

Saludos desde Montevideo.
