It is also required to know the elements at each of those points (hydrogen-1, iron-56/nickel-62, and uranium-238). Since a greater binding energy per nucleon is more energetically favourable, nuclei to the right of iron-56 fission (split) while those to the left fuse (combine) to release energy — changes that would increase binding energy per nucleon are likely to occur because of this.
