Just as a point of information (I claim no UX authority), I do find summaries that are complete sentences more readable. That may be because the capital-and-period discipline encourages many writers to write complete thoughts (vs complete sentences). Or it may be that better writers are more likely to write in complete sentences unless told not to.
