This should be something like

eclplot estimate estmsd estpsd x, plot(bar estimate x)

where -estimate- is the estimate, -estmsd- and -estpsd- are estimates plus 
and minus the SD (respectively), and -x- is the variable against which the 
estimates should be plotted. This is done in a data set with 1 observation 
per group and data on estimates and SDs. Such a data set might be created 
by the official Stata -collapse- command, or by the -xcollapse- package, 
downloadable from SSC.

I hope this helps.
