In the Decrypt() function in [cryptocontext.cpp](https://github.com/openfheorg/openfhe-development/blob/6bcca756e9d52b4db3dd2168414df8a7316b1a61/src/pke/lib/cryptocontext.cpp#L563), you can see the decryption result is first created as a Plaintext variable (line 577) and then is decoded in between the lines 582-607. To print out the content of a plaintext, you can take a look at [Printing plaintext polynomial coefficients vs message vector slots - #2 by Caesar](https://openfhe.discourse.group/t/printing-plaintext-polynomial-coefficients-vs-message-vector-slots/1498/2)
