With medical statistical studies they want a P value less than or equal to 0.05 which translates into English as that result would happen just by chance 1 out of 20 or more times with equivalent sampling methods. When they say something is statistically significant, that's the criteria.

With this sample of over 120,000, the trend had a P = 0.001 which means it would happen 1 out of 1000 times by chance. I'm not a gambler with those odds. Good Night
