Each contradiction between two passages listed here was confirmed by an independent check.

  • Camp 1W density does not match area and population

    Minor

    Using the camp area and total individuals gives about 13.2 square meters per person, not 11 as reported. The same table's values for the other camps are also off by a similar margin, so this appears to be a calculation error in the density row.

  • Overall camp population is given as both 602,400 and one million

    Minor

    One part of the paper describes the Kutupalong-Balukhali site as having about 602,400 people, but the conclusion later states there are one million people in the camp. These cannot both be the same camp population at the same time.

  • Eight-million influx conflicts with the stated refugee total

    Minor

    The discussion describes eight million additional people in the context of supporting Rohingya refugees, while the study-area section gives a total of 869,994 refugees who came to Bangladesh from Myanmar.

  • Camp 3 area per person does not match the table

    Minor

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Claims read under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-09-28.

Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-09-28.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
