From PDF to Evidence: Structure-Aware Retrieval for Clinical Practice Guidelines

Healthcare Information Retrieval Visual Document Retrieval Document Layout Analysis Evidence Retrieval

Open paper AskPDF arXiv

Guideline documents are published as unstructured PDFs whose evidence is locked in visual structures---tables, flowcharts, and graded recommendations---that standard retrieval pipelines flatten into fixed-size text chunks. We cast evidence access as a document image analysis problem: parse each page image into typed structural elements, then retrieve structure-aware evidence units that follow the document's own layout (sections, table rows, flowchart paths, graded recommendations), each keeping its structural context so a result points to a specific element rather than a page. On 26 clinical practice guidelines from 9 sources (3,619 pages, Chinese and English) with 199 evidence queries, structure-aware units rank the gold element first under BM25, dense, and hybrid retrieval (hybrid Element Hit@1 of 0.382), with a significant element-level ranking gain over per-element OCR text (MRR_e +0.107, p=0.002; the Hit@5 gain is directional, p=0.17), while matching page-level recall (Page Hit@5 0.879 vs. 0.889, p=0.75) at 3.8x less context and clearly outperforming a ColPali visual-RAG baseline (PH@5 0.497).
