I'm trying to visualize 20 years time trend in Rate Ratios of cancer incidence across 3 different regions POP, VOC and other. Most examples on the forest plot has CI95 on the x plot and subgroups on Y which I find different from my purpose.
Any hints or direct coding help will be greatly appreciated.
Image should look something like below.
Data for the plot is following:
data CI_timetrend;
input year Exposure $ RR LCL UCL;
cards;

How do want the actual values plottet? Does not make sense to me?
I'm not sure how you want the intervals plotted. I only see the axes?
Do you want the intervals to be plotted vertically for every year for every category?
Thanks for asking. Since i'm running out of time, I'm considering just to table the data as shown in the screen shot below. However, what I originally wanted for the forest plot was having years on the x axis as for a time-trend while multiple axis on Y by POP, VOC and Other to plot the RR along its LCL and UCL. Just like a hybrid of forest plot and time-series chart.
