Les résultats… Jusqu'ici, il n'y en a point.
I suppose that the word "point" in this specific sense is not used nowadays, so should I convert it into "pas" or "rien" in this sentence?

Doesn't the answer to this question on ne... point answer your question? – None Jun 20 '16 at 07:20

Point which is indeed outdated, even in regional usage, can be replaced by pas here while keeping the sentence very same meaning:
Les résultats… Jusqu'ici il n'y en a pas.
If you want to use rien, you might write:
Les résultats… Jusqu'ici, rien !

Thanks. So the translation should be something like "So far, there isn't any of those"? – pourrait Peut-être Jun 19 '16 at 00:01

Probably but the lack of context, as often happens, doesn't help figuring out what kind of results this is about. – jlliagre Jun 19 '16 at 00:26
