Mind Map Feature ​

TL;DR Core capabilities:

  • 🧠 Article pages — Generate a structured mind map from any abstract with 50+ characters
  • 📋 Search result pages — Two overview modes: "Quick Glance" and "Next Steps Suggestions"
  • ✏️ Code view + online editing — Built on Mermaid syntax, edit then export as image
  • 🎨 Multiple theme colors — Switch palettes for light / dark reading
  • 🔄 Generation failed? — Try different keywords, regenerate, or fix special characters in code view
  • 🌐 Supported sites — PubMed, Google Scholar, major journal publisher websites

Preview ​

1. Quick Article Overview (Appears on PubMed / Google Scholar article detail pages) ​



2. Search Results at a Glance (Appears on PubMed / Google Scholar search results pages) ​



3. Next Steps Suggestions (Appears on PubMed / Google Scholar search results pages) ​



Note: Mind maps are generated by AI based on the current page content. Output quality may vary. If you encounter poor results, try the following:

  • Search results pages may have limited abstracts or too many review articles. Try different keywords or use English keywords.
  • Close the current mind map and click to regenerate.
  • Use the "Analyze Results" feature for text-based interpretation.

Features ​



The mindmap feature automatically converts article abstracts or search results into visual diagrams, supporting viewing, editing, and exporting.

FAQ ​

1. Why don't some articles show the mindmap button? ​

The article detail page must contain an abstract with more than 50 characters to generate a mind map.

2. What if the generated content is hard to read? ​

  • Click zoom in/out buttons or use shortcut Ctrl + Mouse Wheel (MacOS: ⌘ + Mouse Wheel)
  • Click the expand button above the mindmap display area
  • Try switching colors using the theme toggle

3. Code View Usage ​

  • If you need to modify content before downloading the image, edit directly in code view, then switch to preview to view and download.
  • You can also copy the code to other editors. We recommend using Mermaid Live Editor (first load may be slow with a brief blank page, please wait).

Online Editor Interface

4. Online Editing Syntax ​

Editing must follow Mermaid syntax. See Mermaid Official Documentation.

5. Generation Failure Causes and Solutions ​

Cause: Special characters in text conflict with Mermaid syntax. (PaperPop validates known cases, but errors may still occur.)

Typical Case: IUPAC names of compounds (e.g., "N-(3-(6-Amino-5-(2-(N-methylacrylamido)ethoxy)pyrimidin-4-yl)-5-fluoro-2-methylphenyl)-4-cyclopropyl-2-fluorobenzamide") contain multiple parentheses that conflict with the syntax.

Note: During PaperPop's validation process, some characters may be replaced and differ from the original text.

Solution:

  • Switch to code view, manually fix errors, then switch back to preview (error messages will be shown)
