Hinweis versus Anhaltspunkt
German to English
Science
Medical: Pharmaceuticals
Der zu übersetzende Text ist ein Dossier für die Bewertung des zusätzlichen Nutzens eine Arzneimittels. Darin wird oft zwischen "Hinweis auf einen Nutzen" und "Anhaltspunkt für einen Nutzen" unterschieden. Wie kann ich das im Englischen unterscheiden? Es wäre ja eigentlich beides "indication". Im Text ist der Hinweis stärker als der Anhaltspunkt.

indication versus clues
In the same order as the German. That's how I would make the distinction under normal circumstances. But yuu're offering few "clues" as to their use in context

In fact, we have received neither sufficient indication (Hinweise) nor any clues (Anhaltspunkte) as to their uses in context. Hinweise are specific pointers or instructions; Anhaltspunkte could be anything that sheds some light, when you're poking around in the dark..

I'm not sure that this is what you are looking for.
The prepositions in the English are essential to the meaning.

Perhaps 'evidence of', depending on context.
