Well, this

begin{center}
       \begin{tabular}{@{} ccc @{}}
          % \toprule
       %Row0
                  \phantom{}
           &    \phantom{}
           &    \phantom{}
           \\
           %\midrule
       %Row1
                  \phantom{}
           &    \phantom{}
           &    \phantom{}
           \\
           %\bottomrule
       \end{tabular}
   \end{center}

gives completely nothing on the generated PDF ... (I have to comment
out the \toprule ... etc since I don't have the definition). Can this
serve your purpose?
