Predictive Value of PLR, PNI, and HALP Scores in Ovarian Cancer Staging.
Article in Cancer management and research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Purpose: Ovarian cancer (OC) is a leading cause of gynecologic cancer mortality, where accurate staging is vital for prognosis and treatment. This study aims to evaluate the prognostic potential of the Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR), Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), and Hemoglobin, Albumin, Lymphocyte, Platelet (HALP) scores in OC staging. Methods: The study was conducted at the Sivas Cumhuriyet University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, between January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2021. A total of 96 OC patients were retrospectively analyzed. Preoperative PLR, PNI, and HALP scores were calculated from routine laboratory parameters. Associations between these scores and clinicopathological factors, including OC stage, were evaluated. The discriminatory power of each index was assessed through ROC curve and AUC (area under the curve) analysis. Results: The AUC for PLR was 0.689 (p < 0.05), indicating significant prognostic value, while the HALP score showed an AUC of 0.671 (p < 0.05). Both markers were significantly associated with OC stages, with higher PLR and lower HALP scores correlating with advanced stages. In contrast, PNI demonstrated a lower AUC of 0.398 (p > 0.05), indicating limited prognostic utility. Conclusion: PLR and HALP scores are useful prognostic markers for OC staging, offering cost-effective and accessible tools in clinical practice. PNI, however, was less predictive. These findings suggest that PLR and HALP could complement existing staging methods, aiding in clinical decision-making. Future large-scale studies are warranted to validate these results.
