Mobile Mind Mapping and Training Interventions for Non-communicable Disease Prevention in Primary Healthcare: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundNon-communicable diseases (NCDs) impose a substantial burden on health systems, particularly in low-and middle-income countries where primary healthcare resources are limited. Community health workers and community health officers contribute to early detection, risk reduction, and health promotion; however, conventional training approaches may not adequately support knowledge retention and practical competencies. Evidence on integrating mind mapping with mobile-based learning remains limited.
methodsThis systematic review, conducted in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, evaluated training interventions for community-based health personnel in NCD prevention. Literature published between 2013 and 2025 was identified through PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Studies were screened using predefined criteria, and findings were synthesised using qualitative thematic analysis.
resultsTen studies were included. Community-based interventions improved screening coverage, risk-factor awareness, and follow-up care. Educational interventions enhanced knowledge, communication competence, and self-efficacy. Innovative approaches, including mind mapping and simulation, improved cognitive organisation and understanding of complex information. Variability in study design and outcomes limited direct comparison.
conclusionsTraining interventions improve competencies in NCD prevention. Integration of mobile learning with visual strategies such as mind mapping shows potential to enhance training effectiveness and workforce capacity. Further high-quality studies are required to evaluate combined approaches and their impact on healthcare outcomes.
