The negative 26% reflected that there would be 0% survival, even with a massive effort that was estimated could not any effect based on the technology available.
I recall there was a diagram showing the star mowing through the solar system. As I recall, the planets in the diagram were mostly in alignment, which doesn't happen frequently.
