It works - we measured 25 down to 5 ug/m3 drop over 2 hours in an oakland townhouse. Measured with hobby grade (pms5003 from adafruit) hardware, so absolute numbers probably not that accurate, but the effect was clear.

In case you're curious how this does with wildfire smoke -- Oakland 1 bedroom, put a 14"x20" MERV 13 (filtrete blue) filter on a box fan (covering the extra 6" with paper). Had a PMS5003 from adafruit monitoring before and after. In the span of 3 hours indoor PM2.5 dropped from 25 to 5 ug/m3 and has stayed low since.
