Nomogram-Based New Recurrence Predicting System in Early-Stage Papillary Thyroid Cancer

Figure 4

The nomogram for predicting event-free survival (EFS) of papillary thyroid cancer (the nomogram was used as follows: possible values of each variable from an individual patient are located on each variable axis, and a line is drawn upward to determine the points got for each variable on the point axis. The sum of these points is located on the total point axis. Then, a line is drawn downward to the survival axes to determine the likelihood of 3-, 5-, or 10-year EFS. A specific example is shown in Supplementary Figure 1).
