What is a Plain Language Summary?

A Plain Language Summary aims to “translate” the technical results of clinical trials in a way that is scientifically accurate but easier to understand. It includes information about the purpose, treatment, side effects, results, and other facts about the trial. These summaries are translated into all the applicable languages of the participants that were in the trial.
