Is this good English?
Yes. It's simply the passive form of
People never made the results known.
or: No one ever made the results known.
(To make something known is to announce it or publish it.)

Aren't those passive forms too?No.
Active:
People made ...
No one ... made ...
Passive:
Results were made ...
(known is a past participle, but not the main verb. A past participle in itself does not create the passive voice.)
