(STATA)
Hello everybody.
I would like to build a Forest Plot graph that includes all this information from the table. I am unable to build the commands to include this information in the chart. I've tried to make other posts here, but I haven't been successful. Can someone help me?
I send the result of table for the chat.
I would like to set up the graph like this example:
This isn't a forest plot. A forest plot shows the measurement of the same variable in a number of studies. You want a confidence interval plot which displayes a number of variables and their confidence intervals.
For such a plot, it must make sense to display the variables on the same scale. The scale makes no sense in the graph you have shown. In order to accomodate the large numbers in turning circle, the length variable is almost impossible to read.
You can do everything you want using Nick Cox's command ciplot. Install using the command
. ssc install ciplot
But obviously you need to pick your variables so that the scale makes sense for all of them.
Edit : a forest plot is written with a small 'f' because the name derives from 'not being able to see the forest for the trees'. There wasn't a person called Forest who invented it. (Which is what I thought for years!)
Ronán Michael Conroy Can I share the results with you by inbox so you can help me set up the commands? The data is already in a table.
I believe the plot Alex Richard Costa Silva uploaded was created via Ben Jann's -coefplot- package. For more info, issue this command in Stata:
ssc describe coefplot
PS- You might consider posting questions about how to do X using Stata to Statalist. ;-)

Bruce Weaver Can you help me put together a Do-file with my data using this package? In inbox.
If you install the package and then type -help coefplot-, you will find the following examples.
* Examples from the help for -coefplot-
sysuse auto, clear
regress price mpg headroom trunk length turn
coefplot, drop(_cons) xline(0)
regress price mpg headroom trunk length turn if foreign==0
estimates store domestic
regress price mpg headroom trunk length turn if foreign==1
estimates store foreign
coefplot domestic foreign, drop(_cons) xline(0)
coefplot domestic || foreign, drop(_cons) xline(0)
coefplot domestic || foreign, yline(0) bycoefs vertical byopts(yrescale)
The graph you uploaded, and the code to produce it can be found on this page:
https://repec.sowi.unibe.ch/stata/coefplot/getting-started.html
sysuse auto, clear
quietly regress price mpg trunk length turn if foreign==0
estimates store D
quietly regress price mpg trunk length turn if foreign==1
estimates store F
quietly regress weight mpg trunk length turn if foreign==0
estimates store D_weight
quietly regress weight mpg trunk length turn if foreign==1
estimates store F_weight
coefplot (D, label(Domestic)) (F, label(Foreign)), bylabel(Price) ///
|| (D_weight) (F_weight), bylabel(Weight) ///
||, drop(_cons) xline(0) byopts(xrescale) // scheme(s2color)
To get the same graphics scheme shown on the web page, remove the // before scheme(s2color). If you use the default graphics scheme for Stata 18 (the current version), the graph will look like the one I attached.
