Telemonitoring post-renal transplantation and role of advanced practice nurses: a single center experience.

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
Introduction: Telemonitoring has the potential to improve access to care and continuity of follow-up after kidney transplantation. Advanced practice nurses (APNs) play an increasingly important role in coordinating remote care pathways. This study evaluated patient experience with telemonitoring after renal transplantation, identified determinants of adherence, and clarified the role of APNs in this model. Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective observational study including adult kidney transplant recipients enrolled in a telemonitoring program between April 2020 and April 2022. Patients were classified as active users (TOUCO), discontinued users (STOPCO), or never users (JAMCO). Satisfaction and experience were assessed through questionnaires. Platform activity and APN workload were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: Among 207 eligible patients, 110 responded to the survey (53%): 64 TOUCO (71%), 11 STOPCO (47%), and 35 JAMCO (37%). Active users reported high satisfaction with response time (89%), improved access to care (81%), and increased reassurance (75%). Ease of use (86%) and adequate information at enrollment were significantly associated with continued use. Major barriers included technical difficulties (≈80%) and loss of login credentials (>50%). During the study period, 5,214 platform events and more than 4,000 secure messages were recorded, reflecting sustained engagement. APNs required a mean workload of 3 hours per day to manage all active users on a daily basis. Conclusion: Telemonitoring after kidney transplantation is feasible and well accepted, improving perceived access to care and enhancing patient reassurance without measured clinical outcome differences. Adherence is driven primarily by organizational and technological factors rather than patient characteristics. APNs play a central role in ensuring continuity of care, triaging data, and maintaining patient engagement. Future studies should evaluate clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness to support broader implementation.
