Check if query empty

Hi,
Is there any way to check in if the query has empty result in the code. for ex. in single.php

I did it on this way: (but still think there is better way)

<?php $query9 = do_shortcode('[query id=9]');
$class = 'query-empty';
$is_empty = preg_match('/<div class="[^"]*'.$class.'[^"]*">/', $query9);
if (!$is_empty):
   <!---Print Code here-->
endif;?>

is there any API , filter or functions that we could use in the code?

Thanks
