Is there a way to add a non-inferiority margin to a plot for one outcome and not the others?

I'm trying to add a non-inferiority margin to my forest plot for the primary outcome and not the secondary outcomes. (outcome = 1 in the example data). Here is some made up example data. I've been playing around with the bands statement with no luck.

data plot;
input outcome adj_mean lowercl uppercl;
cards;
1	-0.1	.	3	
2	0.2	0.1	0.3	
3	-0.2	-0.4	0.1	
4	-0.3	-0.6	-0.1	
5	-0.3	-0.5	-0.1	
;
run;

proc sgplot data=plot NOAUTOLEGEND;
band y=outcome upper=4 lower=-5 / modelname="scatter" fill nooutline transparency=0.80 fillattrs=(color='yellow');
scatter x=adj_mean y=outcome / xerrorlower=lowercl xerrorupper=uppercl ERRORBARATTRS=(thickness = 1.5pt) markerattrs=(symbol=DiamondFilled size=8);
refline 0 / axis=x;
xaxis label="Adjusted Mean Difference and 95% Confidence Limits" min=-5 max=5 LABELATTRS=(family = caibri size = 12) VALUEATTRS=(family = caibri size = 11);
yaxis label="Outcome" fitpolicy=split splitchar=';' TYPE=DISCRETE LABELATTRS=(family = caibri size = 12) VALUEATTRS=(family = caibri size = 11);
run;

I want the plot to look like this:

Is this possible?

Thanks!

Instead of a BAND, try using a HIGHLOW plot with TYPE=BAR. This will let you selectively place a "band" behind any outcome. See the swimmer plot in this post to see. the general idea. Hope this helps!

That worked perfectly, thank you!
