SpasticSim: a synthetic data generation method for upper limb spasticity modelling in neurorehabilitation.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
In neurorehabilitation, assessment of functional problems is essential to define optimal rehabilitation treatments. Usually, this assessment process requires distinguishing between impaired and non-impaired behavior of limbs. One of the common muscle motor disorders affecting limbs is spasticity, which is complicated to quantify objectively due to the complex nature of motor control. Thus, the lack of heterogeneous samples of patients constituting an acceptable amount of data is an obstacle which is relevant to understanding the behavior of spasticity and, consequently, quantifying it. In this article, we use the 3D creation suite Blender combined with the MBLab add-on to generate synthetic samples of human body models, aiming to be as sufficiently representative as possible to real human samples. Exporting these samples to OpenSim and performing four specific upper limb movements, we analyze the muscle behavior by simulating the six degrees of spasticity contemplated by the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS). The complete dataset of patients and movements is open-source and available for future research. This approach advocates the potential to generate synthetic data for testing and validating musculoskeletal models.
