I would like to dump some minds map in latex. I have them following this structure:
Although it does not need need to be exactly like in that chart, just some nice way of drawing hierarchical outline summaries.
Thanks.

You can use the extra concept style for the additional node (this is the exact situation for which the style was designed) and draw the lines with a loop:
\node[fill=blue,circle,font=\scriptsize,extra concept,text=white]
(additional)
at (blub|-pau)
{Something else};
\foreach \Name in {blub,sep,bla}
\draw[dashed,ultra thick,blue] (additional) -- (\Name);
The result:
The complete code:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{matrix,calc,,arrows.meta,shapes,positioning,shadows,trees,mindmap,backgrounds}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}

\resizebox{0.8\textwidth}{!}{%
\begin{tikzpicture}[mindmap,
level 1 concept/.append style={level distance=130,sibling angle=90},

node[concept] {Something}

As a side note, using [!h] as float position specifier is a recipe for disaster; use a less restrictive option such as [!htp] or, better yet, none at all.
There are many different ways to shrink a tikzpicture to fit inside a beamer frame, see, e.g., Scaling a tikzpicture for a Beamer slide.
One possibility using adjustbox:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{mindmap,trees}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage{adjustbox}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\begin{adjustbox}{max totalsize={.9\textwidth}{.7\textheight},center}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\path[mindmap,concept color=black,text=white]
node[concept] {Unit Root Tests}
[clockwise from=15]
child[concept color=green!50!black] {
node[concept] {Granger Causality (TY p.)}
[clockwise from=90]
child { node[concept] {Full Sample}}
child { node[concept] {Pre and Post Sample}}
}
child[concept color=blue] {
node[concept] {Cointegration Test}
[clockwise from=-30]
child { node[concept] {Full Sample} }
child { node[concept] {Pre and Post Sample} }
}
child[concept color=red] { node[concept] {Break Point Tests} [clockwise from=-90]
child { node[concept] {ZA and PPU Tests}}}
child[concept color=orange] { node[concept] {Classical Tests} [clockwise from=90]
child { node[concept] {ADF, PP, and KPSS Tests}}};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{adjustbox}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

You could hack your way out using nested
\left\{delimiters andtabularenvironments. This is a first approximation on which one could improve further.I have some improvements in mind (but no time to implement them right now): one would like each “entry” in the map to be typeset on a
\parboxwith a\raggedrightand a specific width. One would also probably want appropriate spacings (such as\\[2em]) to be automatically added. Finally one would probably like an user interface closer toenumerateand\item's instead of ending entries by\\.I wonder if a package to do exactly this has been already implemented?
