Prayers offered by strangers had no effect on the recovery of people who were undergoing heart surgery, a large and long-awaited study has found.

It does not surprise me. I already explained to Markus74 that this is why IM'ers will generally tend to fail at things like manifesting food for starving African children etc.
Few of us can sustain concentration (ie hold an intention) concerning something faraway and apparently not part of our own immediate lives / circumstances. Eg total strangers undergoing heart surgery.

The congregations were told that they could pray in their own ways, but they were instructed to include the phrase, "for a successful surgery with a quick, healthy recovery and no complications."

Wrong! Badly phrased. The use of the word "complications" may well attract complications.

And patients who knew they were being prayed for had a higher rate of post-operative complications like abnormal heart rhythms ....

See?
