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

The unique properties of lignin nanoparticles (LNPs) - uniform shape, surface charge and nanoscale - carry great potential for the desired material utilization of technical lignins. Especially, the particle size distribution and dispersity of LNPs are the key for their successful valorization. However, characterization of LNPs usually requires a rather elaborate combination of light scattering and microscopy techniques which moreover provide only average values, are often limited in sampling size and require tedious sample preparation. Here we introduce a method based on asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) coupled with multi angle laser light scattering (MALLS), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and refractive index (RI) detection for the analysis of size and shape of LNPs. Exploiting the separation power of AF4 in combination with MALLS, DLS, and RI allowed us to obtain enhanced particle size distributions of LNP that are comparable to batch DLS and AFM measurements. Moreover, we discuss the influence of the particle size on the MALLS and DLS signals and determination of the shape factor ρ of LNPs.
