negligible
Hard to know without the context, but "negligible" is my best guess.
"Non influente" = "without influence": i.e. it does not impact (the results, presumably), therefore it is "negligible".
"Non influente" = "without influence": i.e. it does not impact (the results, presumably), therefore it is "negligible".

irrelevant

Yes, you are right. Irrelevant does sound somewhat negative. I just thought of another option: non-contributing (I see it often in medical texts)
