Spanish term

desvanecerse

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Pharmaceuticals clinical trial
Not sure what term would be more accurate among the ones that come to mind and stated below, as the equivalent of "se desvanece" in the following context:

"Todo el texto se desvanece, excepto “SUPERVIVENCIA SIN PROGRESIÓN”.

Suggestions: "disappears", "fades", "vanishes"

Note: The filed of knowledge is Life Sciences, "clinical trials"

Thanks

disappear - to cease to be visible

@ José The one thing to take into account when opting for 'vanish' would be if it fits in terms of the register to be used in a formal technical document. What would be a more formal term than 'vanish'?
Barbara Cochran, MFA Jun 19, 2022:
Jusé, neil What would "vanish" actually mean in this case? "Vanishes from the picture" (completely, and forever)?
neilmac Jun 19, 2022:
Agree with José patricio "Vanishes" is probably enough.
José Patrício Jun 19, 2022:
Lo que yo entiendo es lo siguiente: Después de la lectura del texto
SUPERVIVENCIA SIN PROGRESIÓN
me llama la atención de manera que todo el restante texto desaparece, se esfuma.
Entonces, yo traduciría por ‘vanishes’, no lo vejo más.

@Barbara Hi Barbara, I appreciate the various options that you made available to me which make sense. The only thing would be to decide for one or another taking into account which one fits best in this context, on top of other factors such as one or the other being too long-winded or not forming a not-so-adequate combination with what follows thereafter.

To dissipate or to fade


My attempt:

All the text fades or gets dissipated but for PFS.

These verbs convey the idea of something that gradually dissapears.

I wonder how a text can dissappear from a clininal trial as all data and findings are stored and recorded. To my mind, there is an underlying methaphorical meaning in the Spanish version and the text/goal/aim/hope of achieving specific endpoints fails except for the progression-free survival one.
