I cannot be of direct help, but you might find something of interest in
my presentation "What can alternative medicine teach us about evidence
based medicine?"
http://www.childrensmercy.org/stats/training/hand66.asp
and an earlier presentation "Controversies in randomized trials"
http://www.childrensmercy.org/stats/training/hand61.asp
which may have some overlap with what you are talking about. Good luck!

or leads you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Evidence Based Medicine gives my book 4/4.5 stars out of five!
