I think this question is a rather no brainer, good results will definitely give you at least an interview. Anything during and beyond the interview is based on your performance.

No one will interpret a person with good results as having no life outside of studies. One will however, judge whether you're social awkward based on your interview performance.

Relevant CCA records might give you the edge, but the fact is that you need to get your resume through the system, to the hands of the recruiting manager. Normally at the hands of HR, your resume will be filtered out by results already. I would say CCA records should only serve as icing on the cake, rather than being treated as a cake itself.

On another note, unless you have CCA/internship records like youth ambassador to the UN health program or something, that's a totally different story.
