Preoperative hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet (HALP) score for predictive utility in patients undergoing elective supratentorial craniotomy.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundElective supratentorial craniotomies may affect short-term prognoses. This study investigates the utility of the preoperative Hemoglobin, Albumin, Lymphocyte, and Platelet (HALP) score for predicting patient outcomes following such procedures.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent elective supratentorial craniotomy at a single center between January 2018 and August 2022. Outcomes were categorized as favorable or unfavorable according to survival and the occurrence of major complications. The HALP score was calculated from preoperative blood samples collected within 24 hours before surgery. Postoperative evaluation encompassed monitoring of complications, cognitive function using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and neurological status assessed with the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS).
resultsAfter propensity score matching, 150 patients were analyzed (75 per group). Preoperative HALP scores in the good prognosis group were significantly higher than those of the poor prognosis group (73.24 ± 8.45 vs. 61.67 ± 7.82,
conclusionsPreoperative HALP score can predict the short-term outcome of patients undergoing elective supratentorial neurosurgery.
