With some verbs, "to + infinitive" can be used to express outcome (instead of purpose).

Nothing has happened <in a decade of climate research> <to convince him otherwise>.
Nothing has happened <to convince him otherwise>.
~ Nothing has happened that could convince him that he was wrong
~ Nothing has happened that made him change his opinion.

OTHER EXAMPLES:
Nothing has happened to convince me ~ Nothing has happened that could convince me.
Nothing happened to prove me wrong ~ Nothing happened that proves that I am wrong.
Nothing happened to suggest that he stole money ~ Nothing happened that suggests that he stole money
Nothing happened to indicate a crime ~ Nothing happened that indicates there was a crime.
I've seen nothing to prove me wrong ~ I've seen nothing that proved me wrong.
I've seen nothing to convince me otherwise ~ I've seen nothing that convinced me otherwise.
I saw nothing to suggest that she was bored ~ I saw no signs that she was bored.

Now, to Themistocles, or to any other man of distinction, nothing happened to prove a hindrance to their reputation.
