Whatever you might mean by "get the result of the
throw", the answer's quoted just below your question.

You can't hope to progress if you don't read the
help that so many people have provided, in the
form of `C-h f' and the Elisp manual.  I led you
right to the water, but I can't make you drink,
no matter how thirsty you might be.

Anyway...

throw sends its result to catch, which returns
it as the value of the catch call.  Or as `C-h f'
tells you:

  "Throw to the catch for TAG and return VALUE from it."
                                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"it" = "the catch".
