Integrating Mind Mapping with Virtual Simulation: A Cognitive Scaffolding for Clinical Reasoning in Residency.
Article in International journal of women's health, 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
Objective: To investigate the efficacy of Mind Mapping-Virtual Simulation (MM-VSP) in enhancing clinical reasoning and procedural application competencies among residents. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted with second-year residents (n=80) during their obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) rotations (January 2023 - December 2024). Participants were categorized to either the study group (n=40, receiving MM-VSP training) or the control group (n=40, receiving VSP training), all trained by a unified faculty team using identical clinical cases. Primary outcomes-theoretical knowledge, clinical competency, and learner satisfaction-were extracted from anonymized annual competency assessments. Results: Baseline characteristics were balanced between groups (all p > 0.05). No group difference was found in theoretical knowledge (p = 0.76). The study group demonstrated higher scores in History Taking (p < 0.01, Cohen's d = 0.92), Clinical Reasoning (p < 0.01, r = 0.47), and OB/GYN Specialty Skills (p < 0.01, Cohen's d = 0.88). Most subdomains of clinical reasoning favoured the study group (p < 0.01, r = 0.41-0.53). Additionally, the study group reported higher instructional satisfaction (p < 0.01, r = 0.36) and higher perceived learning outcomes (p < 0.01, r = 0.68). Conclusion: In this retrospective study, MM-VSP was associated with better complex reasoning and procedural skills in OB/GYN residents, without additional cognitive load.
