A $2.4 million study showed prayer did not affect the recovery of heart surgery patients. In fact people who knew they were being prayed for fared slightly worse.
Perhaps if they'd spent $2.4 million on real health care it might have been a bit more effective or maybe they prayed to the wrong deity. I doubt if there were any pastafarians praying.
