Portuguese term

mascara

Portuguese to English Other Medical (general) urinalysis
In a urinalysis report, the term "procedimento sem mascara" is used to indicate that there is nothing that will alter or mask the results. Is there a technical term that is normally used for this?

Thanks

Could you explain "nothing that will alter or mask the results"? How do you know this is the meaning?
Have you considered "maskless" or "unmasked"?
Could we have the surrounding text, please?
Thanks!

Might also mean "non-fasting" test, meaning that one can eat or drink anything up until the time of the test, instead of having to not, for example, eat or drink anything after midnight, and then only until after the test is performed.

Portuguese term (edited): sem mascara

unmasked

In the name of studies, we have the term unmasked.

I have this in my personal glossary and my translation would be: "unmasked," as in the references.
Example sentence:

However, during the course of a trial, some patients may be practically unmasked either due to experiencing treatment related side effects
