Plain-Language Summary
Rewrites findings so a non-specialist reader can follow them.
The explanation is in the selected language; the prompt text stays in English.
Why use it
For explaining a scientific paper's findings to non-specialists, such as patients' families or journalists.
How to use it
Replace the audience placeholder with your readers and paste the abstract or conclusions into [PASTE]. Compare the finished text with the original paper.
Short example
Audience: parents of a child awaiting surgery; text: abstract of a review on fasting time before anesthesia.
What to expect
Five short paragraphs: why it was done, what was done, what was found, what it does and does not mean, and what remains unknown. About 200 words.
Precautions and tips
- Hunt for words like proves and swap them for more careful wording.
- The reading level is age 14; define any term you cannot avoid.
- A plain summary is not patient advice and does not replace a doctor.
