st: NPTREND problem

["Paul O'Brien" <paul.obrien@afe2.org.uk>]

I have not been able to get the table layout right to do a test for trend
(NPTREND) with the following data:

WEIGHT   EE20mcg EE30mcg
gained     48     24
stable    210    114
lost       38     18

What I get is this:

. tabi 48 24\210 114\38 18

           |          col
       row |         1          2 |     Total
-----------+----------------------+----------
         1 |        48         24 |        72
         2 |       210        114 |       324
         3 |        38         18 |        56
-----------+----------------------+----------
     Total |       296        156 |       452

          Pearson chi2(2) =   0.2483   Pr = 0.883

. list

          row       col           pop
  1.        1         1            48
  2.        1         2            24
  3.        2         1           210
  4.        2         2           114
  5.        3         1            38
  6.        3         2            18

. nptrend row, by(col)

       col     score       obs      sum of ranks
         1         1         3          10.5
         2         2         3          10.5

          z  =  0.00
  Prob > |z| =  1.00



The correct answer is:
One sided P = .2965
Two sided P = .593

Where am I going wrong?

Thanks

Paul
