There has been no formal study of whether prayer brings material things. Those who pray and happen to receive what they prayed for may well attribute their good fortune to prayer, while those who do not receive what they pray for probably do not then conclude that prayer has no value.
However there has been a scietifically controlled study of whether intercessory prayer results in better outcomes from surgery. If intercessory prayer results in better outcomes it is possible that prayer also brings material things. The trial, conducted by the John Templeton Foundation in 2005, concluded that intercessory prayer did not result in better outcomes from surgery. Since intercessory prayer does not result in better outcomes for the seriously ill, prayers are unlikely to bring material things.
