# systemctl status mysql
● mysql.service - LSB: Start and stop the mysql database server daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/mysql; generated; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)
     Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)

# if [ -f `my_print_defaults --mysqld | grep -oP "pid-file=\K[^$]+"` ];
then echo yes ; fi
yes

# my_print_defaults --mysqld | grep -oP "pid-file=\K[^$]+"
→ nothing
# [ -f  ] && echo yes
yes

You might quote the return of your commands, then this should make the
test fail:

# [ -f "" ] && echo yes || echo no
no
