Correlation between hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet score and short-term mortality in critically ill patients.
Article in Journal of health, population, and nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundHemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte and platelet (HALP) score is derived from the counts of hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocytes, and platelets. It serves as a valuable tool for assessing both inflammation and nutritional status in critically ill patients. However, there hasn't been a specific study exploring the role of the HALP score in critically ill patients. Additionally, whether the HALP score exhibits an incremental effect on the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score remains unknown.
methodsIn this study, we used the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-IV) version 2.2 database to evaluate the predictive value of HALP score for critically ill patients. The primary outcome investigated was intensive care unit (ICU) death, and the secondary outcomes included in-hospital mortality, ICU length of stay (LOS), hospital LOS, and 28-day mortality.
resultsWe analyzed 20,083 critically ill patients. In logistic regression, a low HALP score (HALP score < 3.56) showed higher risk of ICU death (adjusted odds ratio: 1.41, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.25 to 1.59). Additionally, the HALP score improved the predictive ability of the SOFA score (∆Area under curve: 0.009, p < 0.001). In Cox proportional hazards models, a low HALP score (HALP score < 3.2) was also associated with a higher risk of 28-day mortality (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.52, 95% CI: 1.33 to 1.74).
conclusionHALP score is associated with short-term mortality. Additionally, HALP score showed an incremental effect on SOFA score in predicting short-term mortality.
