If I interpret your query correctly, you are expecting to find something which corresponds to a deviation divided by its standard error (such as one gets in a t-test, as an attribute of a coefficient in a regression, etc.). The Fisher exact test does not work in these terms at all. Essentially, with the fixed-margins assumption which underlies the Fisher exact test (of a 2x2 table), the entire table is determined by the value of one cell -- say 'a' in row 1, column 1. Each possible value of 'a' then has a probability. The values of 'a' which give rise to an odds-ratio more distant from 1 than what is given by the value of 'a' in your data have a probability which is the sum of their individual values. This is then the P-value of the test. That's it. There is no "T"!
