Readability of Online Informed Consent Forms for Implant-Based Breast Augmentation Across 6 Languages: Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in JMIR formative research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Breast augmentation is one of the most performed aesthetic surgical procedures worldwide. Given its elective character and potential complications, clear and comprehensible informed consent is essential. Objective: The aim of this paper is to evaluate and compare the readability of online informed consent forms for implant-based breast augmentation in languages used in the countries with the highest procedural volumes according to the 2024 International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) survey. Methods: The phrase "breast augmentation consent form" was translated into 8 languages and searched using Google in private mode. After applying exclusion criteria, 77 documents were analyzed. Readability was assessed using the Results: The overall mean LIX score was 53 (SD 9), corresponding to very difficult texts. Significant differences in readability were observed between languages ( Conclusions: Online consent forms consistently exhibit high linguistic complexity, underscoring the need for systematic simplification and standardization.
