Thank you for bringing this study to my attention!
My subjective impression, without having spent more than five minutes looking at the paper, is that the findings are unlikely to replicate. (If anyone disagrees, feel free to challenge me to a bet and I commit to either accept or revise my estimates.) Still, this seems enough to show that the study shouldn’t be used as an example, and I have updated my comment to note this.
Agree that it seems unlikely to replicate. It would be interesting to see if e.g. hospitals are now funding Make a Wish on the grounds of it saving them future costs
