Characterization of Particle Shape with an Improved 3D Light Scattering Sensor (3D-LSS) for Aerosols.

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
To characterize fine particulate products in industrial gas-solid processes, insights into the particle properties are accessible via various measurement techniques. For micron particles, online imaging techniques offer a fast and reliable assessment of their size and shape. However, for the shape analysis of submicron particles, only offline techniques, such as SEM and TEM imaging, are available. In this work, an online sensor system based on the principle of elastic light scattering of particles in the gas phase is developed to measure the shape factor of non-spherical particles in the size range of 500 nm to 5 µm. Single aerosol particles are guided through a monochromatic circularly polarized laser light beam by an aerodynamic focusing nozzle, which was developed based on the CFD simulation of the flow and particle movement. The intensity of the scattered light is measured at several discrete positions in the azimuthal direction around the particles. An algorithm computes the sphericity of the particles based on the distribution of the intensity signals. The sensor construction, data processing and analysis are described. Model aerosols with particles of different shapes are investigated to test the developed sensor and show its performance in the determination of the sphericity distribution of particles.
