: How do I express that others and I were unable to find literature about a topic? Given this question of mine I wondered: If one wants to publish a new result which one couldn't find any

Given this question of mine I wondered: If one wants to publish a new result which

one couldn't find any information where the result could have possibly been covered (and neither could one's friends and colleagues) and
is part of a topic that is so rich on literature that it is absolutely impossible to read it all,

how can one write about this result without assuming that it never has been covered and without expressing one's own inability to find the literature in question?

Example: I think that both formulations

This result wasn't explicitly stated before.

and

The authors couldn't find any material covering the result.

sound unprofessional.
