Plain language summaries that are accurate, clear, and compliant
Plain language summaries of clinical trial results under EU CTR Annex V and of publications, written by clinicians to health literacy standards. from a clinician led team serving India, MENA, Europe, and global markets.
Plain language summaries have moved from optional courtesy to formal requirement. The EU Clinical Trials Regulation requires a lay summary of results for every trial under Annex V, journals increasingly commission plain language summaries of publications, and patient organizations expect study communication that respects both the science and the reader.
Writing them well is harder than it looks. A plain language summary must simplify without distorting: no promotional tone, no overstated certainty, numeracy presented in formats non-specialists can use, and reading level held near the recommended range without becoming condescending. EvySaif's clinician writers produce plain language summaries of trial results, publications, and study protocols that pass both the health literacy test and the scientific accuracy review, because the same person understands the data and the reader.

Frequently asked questions
What reading level do you target?
We target the level appropriate to the audience and market, generally aligned to widely used health literacy guidance, and we verify it with readability assessment plus clinician review for accuracy, since readability scores alone can be gamed.
Are plain language summaries promotional?
No, and they must not be. Regulators and journals require non-promotional, balanced presentation of results including limitations and adverse events, which is how we write them.
Can you produce graphical summaries?
Yes. We develop text and visual formats together with our design capability, keeping every visual claim traceable to the underlying data.
