COVID-19 testing and vaccination uptake among Spanish-speaking Latine persons: impact of a novel social network intervention.
Trial report in BMC public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundCOVID-19 disproportionately affected Latine communities in the United States, particularly Spanish-speaking and immigrant Latines. Our community-based participatory research (CBPR) partnership developed and tested Nuestra Comunidad Saludable, a Spanish-language intervention harnessing community-based peer navigation and mHealth. The objective of this work is to test the intervention using a cluster randomized trial design to increase COVID-19 testing and vaccination among Spanish-speaking Latino communities in the United States.
methodsWe used a longitudinal, two-group randomized controlled trial design to evaluate the intervention. We recruited 20 peer navigators (Navegantes), each with -eight non-overlapping social network members, and randomly assigned them with their social networks to either the intervention or delayed-intervention group (10 Navegantes and 80 social network members per group) for a total of 160 social network participants at baseline. Data were collected from social network member participants at baseline and immediately post-intervention (six months after intervention-group Navegante training). Participant retention rate was 98.1%. Regression modeling was used to assess changes in testing and vaccination outcomes and intervention-related psychosocial determinants between baseline and follow-up.
resultsMean age of participants was 42 years (SD = 12.8); 77% identified as cisgender women; 85% spoke only or more Spanish than English; and 44% had beyond high school/GED equivalent educational attainment. At follow-up, there were no significant increases in ever having been tested or ever having been vaccinated. Both intervention and delayed-intervention groups experienced improvements in being up to date on recommended vaccine doses and in the number of doses received. Intervention participants reported improvements in some intervention-related psychosocial determinants such as increased testing intention (p<0.001), decreased testing barriers (p=0.034), and fewer number of testing barriers (p=0.043).
conclusionThe results of this intervention, including the high retention rates, increased intention to get tested, and reduced testing barriers reveal valuable insights for future efforts aimed at addressing the profound challenges faced by Spanish-speaking Latines in accessing COVID-19, in particular, and other healthcare resources, more generally. Peer navigation and mHealth hold promise for promoting community engagement and improving access to services and overall health outcomes for populations facing barriers to healthcare.
