Service Example

From Specialist Wording to Reader-Friendly Explanation

The example below is illustrative and demonstrates the type of plain-language transformation used in a lay summary.

Specialist-style source sentence

“The intervention was associated with a statistically significant reduction in the primary endpoint, although heterogeneity across subgroups limits generalisability.”

Issue: accurate but difficult for many non-specialist readers to interpret quickly.

Lay-summary style

“People who received the intervention had better results for the study’s main outcome. However, the effect was not the same in every group, so the findings may not apply equally to everyone.”

Approach: retain the finding and limitation while using more familiar wording.
