I would want to add a clear verb before it, such as "Taken together, these results..." or, as the American Heritage Dictionary uses in its fourth definition for together, "Regarded collectively; in total: She is worth more than all of us together; Considered together, the proposals made little sense." (emphasis mine). I think Altogether is the most precise word for this context. | |
