Does the format of result presentation and type of conclusion in Cochrane plain language summaries matter? A randomised controlled trial

Conclusions The format of Cochrane PLSs does not appear to significantly impact physiotherapy students’ perception of treatment benefit, understanding of evidence, persuasiveness or confidence in their decision. However, participants’ perception of treatment benefit does not align with the conclusion when the Cochrane PLS indicates strong evidence of non-benefit from the intervention. Trial registration number CTRI/2022/10/046476.
