The sentences

an overall trendno p-value reported
Here the coefficient for 5 or more years in ovens, estimating a relative risk of 1.81, in isolation would be considered statistically significant, but the evidence for an overall trend is of borderline statistical significance.

There was no evidence of increased risks with continuous BSM exposure; indeed, the coefficient of BSM exposure was negative, though nowhere near statistical significance.

highly significantno p-value reported
With grouped exposures, at face value the coefficient for the highest exposure suggests a 50% increase in lung cancer risk compared to the unexposed reference group; and a ratio of the estimate to its standard error of 2.27, treated in isolation as a t-statistic, would be statistically highly significant.
