1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Machine-generated music (MGM) has become a powerful tool with applications in music therapy, personalised editing, and creative inspiration. However, its unregulated use threatens the entertainment, education, and arts sectors by diminishing the value of high-quality human compositions. Effective detection of machine-generated music (MGMD) is essential, yet progress is hindered by the lack of comprehensive datasets. To address this gap, we introduce M6, a large-scope benchmark dataset designed for MGMD research. M6 is distinguished by its diversity, encompassing multiple generators, domains, languages, cultural contexts, genres, and instruments, all provided in WAV format. We detail the data collection methodology and analysis, alongside baseline performance scores from foundational binary classification models, highlighting the complexity of MGMD and the need for further advancements. M6 serves as a robust resource to support future research in developing effective detection methods. The dataset is available at https://huggingface.co/datasets/yl7622/M6 to promote collaboration and innovation.
