plotting estimates & 95% CI

[Madu Abuchi]

How can I plot series of estimates and their confidence interval to look like this attached image. I want to test confidence intervals for non-inferiority and want to represent graphically and make a xline at -10

example data is:
clear
input str (ant) long(e ub lb)
a -5 -11 1
b 2 -5 4
c 11 8 15
end

A very crude version of that plot can be achieved using the following code:

ssc install metan
clear
input id e ub lb
1 -5 -11 1
2 2 -5 4
3 11 8 15
end
metan e ub lb , force null(0) nooverall xline(-10)

You can use -metan- (help metan) options to make it prettier and to your liking.

A more customizable option would be coefplot.

ssc install coefplot
clear
input id e ub lb
1 -5 -11 1
2 2 -5 4
3 11 8 15
end

mkmat e ub lb, matrix(C)
matrix C = C'
coefplot matrix(C), ci((2 3))
