Microfiltration of Submicron-Sized and Nano-Sized Suspensions for Particle Size Determination by Dynamic Light Scattering.
Article in Nanomaterials (Basel, Switzerland), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is commonly used for the determination of average particle diameters and suspension stability and popular in academics and industry. However, DLS is not considered suitable for polydisperse samples. The presence of little quantities of micrometre particles in nano and submicrometre suspensions especially affect the reliability of DLS results. Microfiltration might be a suitable method for the removal of unwanted large particles. This study investigates the effect of microfiltration on the diameter distributions as measured by DLS. Polystyrene standards (40-900 nm diameter), and monomodal silica suspensions were filtered with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membranes (0.1-1.0 µm pore size) to investigate retention properties and grade efficiency. Non-ideal materials were used to prove the results. Experiments showed that a mono-exponential decay can be achieved by filtration. A size safety factor of at least three between labeled pore size and average diameter was found to keep separation as low as possible. Filtration in order to enhance DLS for particulate submicrometre materials was considered suitable for narrowly distributed coated titania and kaolin powder. In a regulatory context, this might have an impact on considering a substance false positive or false negative according to the European Commission (EC) recommendation of a definition of the term nanomaterial.
