Except of course, there is...
The report states that "Patients treated with "two-tiered" prayer had absolute six-month death and re-hospitalization rates that were about 30 percent lower than control patients, statistically characterized as a suggestive trend".
Apparently what the study shows is no change in a composite outcome measure based on a variety of clinical observations but the six month death rate is down 30 points.
Nice to see God getting the last laugh, really.
