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.
