Aslanger Pattern as a Manifestation of Inferior STEMI in Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 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
backgroundThe Aslanger pattern is a subtle electrocardiographic manifestation of inferior occlusion myocardial infarction that may not meet traditional ST-segment elevation criteria, particularly in the setting of multivessel coronary artery disease. CASE SUMMARY: A 79-year-old man with known multivessel coronary artery disease presented with intermittent chest pain and was admitted for medical management of suspected unstable angina. Initial electrocardiogram (ECG) showed no acute ischemic changes. During hospitalization, he developed recurrent chest pain with subtle ECG findings consistent with the Aslanger pattern, which was not recognized at the time. Symptoms transiently resolved; however, on the following day, the ECG evolved to demonstrate overt inferior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Emergent coronary angiography revealed left main and 3-vessel coronary artery disease with late stent thrombosis of the mid right coronary artery. DISCUSSION: This case illustrates how limited inferior wall injury combined with diffuse subendocardial ischemia in multivessel coronary artery disease can alter ST-segment vectors, masking an inferior occlusion myocardial infarction and delaying recognition. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Early recognition of the Aslanger pattern may facilitate timely diagnosis of inferior occlusion myocardial infarction and guide appropriate revascularization strategies in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease.
