1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This paper introduces an interactive Shiny web application designed to facilitate bidirectional statistical inference by allowing users to derive p-values from reported confidence intervals and vice versa. The tool serves as a practical resource for researchers, students, and reviewers aiming to verify or reconstruct statistical evidence from in-review and published results. The app supports common scenarios in epidemiology, clinical trials, and social science research, with a focus on odds ratios, and risk ratios. The publication discusses the underlying statistical formulas, app functionality, user interface design, and potential for integration into meta-analysis and reproducibility pipelines.
