Buen día,

No estoy muy seguro de mi traducción del término consultado:

Se propone que la presentación pública de los resultados del diagnóstico contemple alguna información similar al cuadro, **que permita de manera sintética** caracterizar las provincias donde se levantó la información.

It is proposed that the public presentation of the diagnosis results includes some information similar to the table below to "concisely" characterize....

summarise/summarize
Explanation:
I'd probably omit "allow", and even "characterise".

"The idea/aim is that the public presentation of the diagnostic results should include some information similar to the table below, which summarises the provinces where the information was gathered/collected."

Some of our colleagues are bound to disagree, but hey… :-)

que permita de manera sintética [caracterizar]
to highlight


Explanation:
I think the word "highlight" covers this nicely in English.



Example sentence(s):
  • [...] similar al cuadro, que permita de manera sintética caracterizar las provincias donde se levantó la información.
  • [...] similar to the table, to highlight the provinces where the information was collected.

neutral  Andrew Bramhall: What does it 'highlight', though? Still considerably more likely than the offering below.
1 hr
  -> It highlights where the information was collected, which makes it possible to correlate or differentiate that information for the different provinces

as is apt to encapsulate


Explanation:
'...to "concisely" characterize...' is a *non-no, split infinitive* that invariably used to be picked up on by UK and US translation agencies.

alguna información.. que permita caracterizar las provincias : subjunctive mood, so -> 'any such information... as is apt to encapsulate the character of the provinces...'

I'd thought of highlight myself but reckoned it was too close to 'emphasize' as a stand-out simile.

Example sentence(s):
  • My advice is to use a setting that perfectly encapsulates your character.

which allows to characterize in summarized form


Explanation:
I´d suggest the follwing traduction: "It is proposed that the public presentation of the diagnosis results comprises some information similar to that on the table, which allows to characterize in summarized form the provinces where the information was collected"

I´d advice against using "concise" as the Spanish word "conciso" stands for "breve" alone, and does not indicate summarizing of information or data, whereas the adjective "sintético" does it.

disagree  Andrew Bramhall: Your grammar is flawed unfortunately;//"allows (itself) to be characterised.."=passive/reflective tense which is required here.
5 hrs
  -> My point was about meaning of words. Nothing to do with grammar -rules how words change form and combine- You should explain why you think my grammar is flawed. Otherwise your comment is useless. By the way, I´m a Spanish Engineer
disagree  philgoddard: When you're in a hole, stop digging. 'Allows to' is incorrect English.
16 hrs
  -> I reccomend you to review the online version of the Cambridge Dictionary and see half dozen examples of the use of "allow to"...who you think is in a hole now ? https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/allow
