From: Nomogram predicted survival of patients with adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction
Nomogram predicted 1- to 5-year overall survival using six available clinical characteristics. To use the nomogram to calculate personal predicted survival, the patient’s age was located on the row labeled Age (year) and a straight line was drawn up to the row labeled Points to determine the corresponding points. This process was repeated for each of the remaining factors by drawing a straight line to the “Points” row to determine the points associated with each factor. After summarizing the total points, one located the appropriate total point number and drawn a straight line from this to the rows labeled 1-year survival, 2-year survival, 3-year survival, 4-year survival, and 5-year survival to determine the patient’s predicted survival probability
