English term or phrase: spinning of results/spin on the data
In short, a dark truth became visible in American medicine in the 1990s. Bias by design and the **spinning of results**—hallmarks of fraudulent science—had moved front and center into the testing of commercial drugs.

Prima diceva:

“A pharmaceutical company,” acknowledged Journal of Clinical Psychiatry editor Alan Gelenberg in 1999, “goes to great pains to construct studies that are likely to turn out in its favor.” The drug companies also controlled analysis of the data, and that control, the New England Journal of Medicine wrote, “allows companies to provide **the spin on the data** that favors them.”

Manipolazione dei risultati/dei dati
Explanation:
To spin io lo interpreto come una manipolazione vera e propria, tuttalpiù puoi aggiungere "manipaolare i risultati a proprio vantaggio"

Il senso è quello.

Ecco, magari nel caso di "spin on the data" il senso è più quello di "Interpretare i dati a proprio favore/vantaggio"
