The smaller the error or uncertainty value, the larger the confidence number.  A confidence value of less than 1 is usually considered unreliable, but may justify further experiments/observations.  Confidence that is practically indistinguishable from 0 means the result is only marginally better than pure chance or a result showing no correlation.  Said another way, you have no confidence in your observations.
