[Acceptance of telemetric care for patients with sICD safety advice : Qualitative interview study in cardiological health services research].

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
backgroundTelemonitoring is used to monitor implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). Despite the scientifically proven effectiveness and safety of telemetric care, studies show that the offer is not used and accepted by all patients.
objectivesThe aim of this study is to investigate the attitudes of ICD patients towards telemonitoring, including which aspects influence attitudes and decision-making.
methodsData were collected using semi-structured, guideline-based individual interviews. A total of 14 patients with a subcutaneous ICD (sICD) and both primary and secondary prophylactic indications were recruited. Data analysis followed a content-structuring qualitative approach.
resultsPatients with telemonitoring perceived a high benefit with low concerns about digital technology, while the opposite was observed for patients without telemonitoring. The patients' previous medical experience has a crucial impact on the acceptance of telemonitoring. All age groups reported the technical implementation and practical handling of telemonitoring to be simple and uncomplicated.
conclusionThe results suggest that the primary and secondary prophylactic indication for ICD implantation have an influence on the attitude towards telemonitoring and, thus, on acceptance. Further qualitative research regarding user acceptance of telemonitoring of other ICD systems is needed.
