a strong trendP = 0.0000002actually significant
For example, in a large pooled analysis of 14 cohort studies, there was a strong trend with smoking interval before first birth after adjustment for potential confounders that included age at first birth and number of live births ( P = 0.0000002), whereas after stratification by age at first birth, the trends in each stratum were weaker ( P = 0.12, 0.02, and 0.28) [ 8 ], which is suggestive of confounding.
