Clinical and medico-economic benefits of remote monitoring of chronic wounds.
Article in International wound journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Through a prospective comparative intention-to-treat study, we studied the impact of remote monitoring of chronic wounds on safety and on the consumption of healthcare system resources. From January to June 2023, 103 consecutive patients were managed according to conventional follow-up (group CF, 61 patients) or to follow-up in which remote wound monitoring (group RM, 42 patients) could be used. Data were collected prospectively. Statistical analysis was performed on an intention-to-treat basis, analysing data on treatment safety (mortality, major amputation, wound healing, use of emergency services), clinical results (closure and time to closure of the wound) organisational effectiveness (consultation, hospitalisation, use of unscheduled care), and estimated cost. The use of telemonitoring did not alter the safety criteria for the management of chronic wounds. It allowed a 35 days reduction of the time to wound-closure (p = 0.05). It led to a 55% reduction in hospital consultations (p ≤ 0.01). These factors have resulted in an estimated reduction in the cost of care of 1666 euros. The constated reduction in unscheduled care (visit of emergency services, emergency hospitalisation) was not significant. Remote monitoring of chronic wounds is safe, and clinically efficient (reduced healing time), compared to conventional monitoring. It decreases the need for in-hospital consultations and the overall cost of the treatment and thus may ease the access to specialised care in wound healing.
