About this pattern
Explanation
にしたところで is used to express that, even if the preceding action or situation occurred or were true, it would not change the outcome or the overall reality. It emphasizes futility or insignificance of the preceding condition relative to the result. It often follows a hypothetical, conditional or concessive nuance, similar to saying "even if ..." or "even though ..." in English, and is commonly used to point out that the difference would be negligible regardless of the effort or situation.
