no-one has a decisive influence on the result
The original Russian meaning is not very clear to me, but I think this would make some sort of sense.

I agree with Jack that the Russian isn't entirely clear, but this is how I read it.

Ah! Got it!
... but ultimately neither decides the result.

Or, to make it even clearer,
'neither decides the result by himself / on his own.'

Я тоже так понимаю. Если итализировать "really" (если того позволяет документ), то этим передаётся "по кусочку".
