Figure, table and section ledger
Editorial contribution type: Architecture & representation (primary).
Layout extraction, not a required paper template. Counts are distinct caption labels; a multi-panel figure counts once. Section spans are estimated from heading positions, including floats and whitespace. Method and limitations.

Extraction notes: No attached appendix boundary detected. Zero means no recognized caption, not independently verified absence.
Section-by-section lengths and source pages
The title/abstract/front matter precede the first numbered heading. A span ends at the next detected top-level heading, not at the last sentence; end-page whitespace is included. References and statements are listed separately. These are not measurements of text-only or artwork area.

No recognized caption labels.
Separate source files—excluded from canonical-PDF totals
A separate author version may repeat main text and references. Whole-file lengths and counts are not extra appendix material and are never added to the canonical PDF totals. Read the study's source scope for which sections received substantive reading versus layout inspection.
Additional source 1
Separate PDF (or ZIP containing it): whole-file layout of 2 physical pages; 1 detected figures and 5 tables. These may include overlapping main-text material.
Located appendix only: starts on physical p.1; ≈ 1.88 page-equivalents, 1 figure labels and 5 table labels. This interval is distinct from the whole file.
Argument and organization
- 3. Methodology
Connects anomaly tokens, difference tokens, and grounding through three training stages.
- 4–5. Experiments and Analysis
Tests each intended clinical capability, then token/layer choices and a real-world cohort.
Problem, claim and contribution
The introduction names three distinct clinical tasks—lesion detection, temporal symptom tracking, and visual grounding—rather than relying only on general medical VQA.
Sections 1–2 · Main paper · Additional source 2
Argument and section order
The three-stage architecture is mirrored by stage-wise training and task-specific evaluation sections.
§3.2; §§4.1–4.3 · Main paper · Additional source 2
Figures, captions and visual explanation
The architecture marks learned versus frozen blocks and separates anomaly, difference, and heatmap generation; qualitative grounding includes normal as well as abnormal samples.
Figure 3 p. 4; Figure 4 p. 7 · Main paper · Additional source 2
Tables, comparisons and evidence
Detection, temporal reasoning, and grounding use separate tables; token-removal and feature-layer controls test the proposed mechanism.
Tables 1–4 pp. 6–8 · Main paper · Additional source 2
Appendix and reproducibility
The compact supplement includes modified chat tokens and a staged/joint comparison, clarifying interface changes and optimization choices.
Supplement Figure 6; Table 10 · Main paper · Additional source 2
Clarity and writing conventions
The clinical-cohort section names its automatic evaluation tools, so readers can distinguish proxy quality metrics from clinician-verified safety.

What to reuse—and what not to infer
Transferable lesson: A multitask clinical architecture is clearest when each module, training stage, and evaluation target can be aligned explicitly.
Boundary: Grounding heatmaps and automated clinical scores do not by themselves establish faithful reasoning or readiness for clinical deployment.
Apply this lesson using the argument and evidence worksheet.
