How to draw a range plot with confidence interval

[Tom Hsiung]

Hello, everyone

I am a pharmacy graduate student in China and I use Stata a lot everyday to do my clinical pharmacy research. I have a lot of patients' data to analysze. I want to draw a range plot with the confidence interval of the investigated variable but I do not find how.

"Range plot" could mean many things but check out -stripplot- from SSC.

Thanks for your advice. However I am new to State. What is SSC?

It seems that SSC is a third-part package. I want firstly to try the job via Stata itself. The command of "twoway rline variable1 variable 2, sort" could draw a range plot. However, my reference only shows how to draw the range plot with highest and lowest values, and I want to draw the range plot for which the upper and lower limits be the confidence interval.
