Why One-Page Summaries?
Complex papers are hard to digest and even harder to compare. One-page summaries make research portable and comparable. With getMindmap, you can convert PDFs and notes into a single structured map: question, methods, results, limitations, and implications.
A Repeatable Workflow
- Paste an abstract or key sections; generate the initial map with AI.
- Normalize branches: population, intervention, comparison, outcomes (PICO).
- Extract key figures and attach as nodes; link DOIs for provenance.
- Record biases and limitations to prevent overgeneralization.
- Export a one-page view to share or include in literature matrices.
Comparing Papers Visually
Use a parent map to link multiple studies. Align their PICO branches side by side to spot differences in design, sample size, or effect sizes.
Tips
- Use consistent labels across papers.
- Capture the exact claim language to avoid drift.
- Flag replication status and data availability.
Conclusion
AI mind maps turn literature review into a visual, comparable knowledge base—helping researchers move faster without losing rigor.
