See

(info "(org) results")

and note the difference between `:results output' and `:results value' (the 
default).

Since you want the printed version of the R object, you should use 

`:results output latex'

to pass the printed output to the org #+Results or 

`:results raw :wrap export latex'

to pass the unadorned value.  In your use case they seem to produce the same 
#+Results.

[O] org-mode R using xtable produces strange output

[Brian Shine]

I am using xtable to produce summary tables of linear models, specifying the 
output as latex.  If I just run the code in R, I get the correct output.  
However, the latex output in the org document contains a lot of “|”s.  I think 
this is because the header of the table contains some code to make “p > |t|”, 
where the vertical lines are to indicate “absolute value of t”.  My guess is 
that when the output is written to the results section, org interprets the “|” 
signs as an org-table and tries to be helpful by adding more of them to make up 
the correct number of columns. If I switch off the latex output, and write the 
xtable to a small .tex file, using xtable.print and then include the file after 
the code block, the table appears correctly.
I’m using emacs 25.2.

Here’s an example:
