Implementation of a mobile application for outpatient care after liver transplantation.

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
Background: In the face of the Covid-19 pandemic and the need for social distancing new therapeutic tools like mobile health applications might gain in importance for outpatient care. Objective of the present study was to assess if and to what extent the implementation of a free available transplant application in a cohort of liver transplant recipients was possible. Methods: Patients of the aftercare program at the Department of Transplant Surgery Graz in June 2016 were first asked to complete a survey concerning knowledge about mobile health and their management of everyday life. After using the application for 2 months a second survey evaluated whether the implementation of the application in the daily routine was achievable. Results: Among 135 patients, 124 (91.9%) agreed to participate. Seventy-one (57.3%) owned a mobile device with which they could use the application, 42 patients (33.8%) decided to try it out for 2 months. The majority stated that the application supported them for therapy management and surveillance of vital parameters. Successful implementation of the application has been reached in 57.1% of patients after 2 months testing period. Conclusion: The technical prerequisites are only partially met and should be improved. Older patients need extensive support and motivation.
