Are there functions/packages which support plots (bar and/or line) where I provide the point estimate and some error measure rather than the raw data? I often have to summarize/present data from multiple sources where the original data is unavailable and do not yet have a good solution for this.

There are R packages that support meta analysis. Learn to search, grasshopper.

Bimal, in the "memisc" packages: ?panel.errbars This might be a good option for you. HTH, Sam

Hi Bimal, The bar and line plots of the summary measures are easy using the "plot" and "barplot" functions. Adding the error measures is but a little more complicated. See the R-FAQ 7.38. Jim
