Navigating oxygen management challenges amidst COVID-19 pandemic and beyond in India: a modified Total Interpretive Structural Modeling (m-TISM) approach.
Article in BMC health services research, 2025. 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
backgroundGiven the unprecedented surge in COVID-19 infections, the heightened demand for medical oxygen prompted numerous national and global initiatives to bridge the gap between supply and demand. This was crucial for ensuring adequate treatment for patients suffering from acute respiratory distress syndrome and requiring oxygen therapy. This research aims to explore the factors influencing medical oxygen management in India during the pandemic and beyond, examining both facilitators and barriers.
methodThrough a thorough review of literature, secondary research, and interviews with key stakeholders, critical factors affecting oxygen management were identified. These factors were then analyzed using a modified total interpretive structural modeling (m-TISM) approach and MICMAC (Matrice d’ Impacts croises multiplication applique an classment) analysis to comprehend their hierarchical relationships and driving forces.
resultsThe study identifies fourteen key factors that act as facilitators and barriers to oxygen management during the COVID-19 pandemic. These factors also influence medical oxygen management during the non-pandemic period. The development of an m-TISM model gives us the hierarchical interrelationships between these factors, including oxygen management as one of the factors itself. The findings identify key strategic levers to strengthen the national oxygen management ecosystem and cross-sectoral collaborations.
conclusionUnlike previous studies, this study moves beyond just identifying the challenges to offering a hierarchical map of pandemic-era and post-pandemic facilitators and barriers in the oxygen management ecosystem in India. This study provides insights into strengthening the oxygen ecosystem, enabling policymakers and program implementers to make informed decisions and implement pre-emptive measures to address future threats from the virus or similar crises.
