Diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis
Diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis is a research topic within Surgery. Science Explorer counts 24k research works in it since 1950. 8.7% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the diagnosis and management of abdominal tuberculosis, with a particular emphasis on the challenges in differentiating it from other conditions such as Crohn's disease, the use of imaging and PCR for diagnosis, and the implications of tuberculous peritonitis and genitourinary tuberculosis. The cluster also explores the impact of abdominal tuberculosis on infertility.

How concentrated that is
The same countries as shares of everything the list above accounts for. A node where two countries do two thirds of the work and one spread evenly across twelve read alike as a ranking and not at all alike here.
