From: A novel nomogram to predict the risk of anastomotic leakage in patients after oesophagectomy
DCA. Notes: DCA showed the clinical usefulness of the nomogram. The y-axis measures the net benefit. The red solid line is the nomogram to predict AL risk. The grey solid line assumes that all patients will develop AL. The black thin solid line assumes that no patients will develop AL. In this analysis, the decision curve provided a larger net benefit across the range of 8 and 74%
