Tough talks COVID-19 (TT-C) digital health intervention: multistate randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05490329 (A Multidimensional Digital Approach to Address Vaccine Hesitancy and Increase COVID-19 Vaccine Uptake Among African American Young Adults in the South), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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.

Abstract
During the COVID-19 pandemic, rapid changes in variant virulence, limited personal protective equipment availability, and diminished hospital capacity necessitated aggressive vaccine distribution. To promote COVID-19 vaccination to historically underserved populations, the National Institutes of Health funded a small group of clinical trials, including the Tough Talks for COVID-19 vaccine (TT-C) digital health intervention (DHI) randomized controlled trial (RCT). Black young adults, 18-29 years, who were unvaccinated or insufficiently vaccinated against COVID-19 were recruited via social media in Alabama, Georgia, and North Carolina and randomized to the intervention or standard of care control (N = 360). Self-report data and vaccine cards were collected at baseline, 1- and 3-months post-randomization. Post-intervention, 6.4% received a new COVID-19 vaccine (8.4% intervention; 4.7% control). Odds of new COVID-19 vaccination were 1.88 (CI: 0.76, 4.69, p = 0.174) times higher in intervention compared to control participants adjusting for state. At 3 months post-randomziation, vaccine hesitancy was lower among intervention than control participants (CI:-0.34,-0.03, p = 0.02), and vaccine confidence and vaccine knowledge were higher in intervention versus control participants (CI:0.00,0.32, p = 0.05, CI:0.21,0.79, p = 0.01 respectively). Under rapidly changing conditions, the TT-C DHI produced promising results on vaccine attitudes but not behaviors among Southern Black young adults. The intervention could be adapted to address vaccine uptake among other minority populations.Trial registration: NCT05490329, registered on 03082022. https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05490329 .
