Display Rate module results via Panels?

Running into a pickle here. So many of us know that the Rate module does not smoothly integrate with Panels.

I discovered out a way to get the voting widget to show using a custom content with the following PHP code:

<?php
if (arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1)) && ($node = node_load(arg(1)))) {
   print rate_embed($node, 'bias', RATE_FULL);
}
?>

Has anyone had any luck with doing something similar to display only the vote results? (i.e. display total percent of that vote)

I'm not a PHP wiz but cant seem to get this to work. I think there is way by doing something like:

<?php
if (arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1)) && ($node = node_load(arg(1)))) {
   print get_rate_resluts($node, 'bias', RATE_FULL);
}
?>

But end up getting either blank pages or some fatal database errors. Thoughts?
