RE: st: graphing question
A possible tool for confidence interval plots is -eclplot-, downloadable
from SSC using the -ssc- command. This has a -plot()- option, allowing
users to label their confidence intervals with significance stars if
they wish to. As in:
gene stars=""
replace stars=stars+"*" if p<=0.05
replace stars=stars+"*" if p<=0.01
replace stars=stars+"*" if p<=0.001
eclplot estimate min95 max95 time, plot(scatter max95 time, msym(none)
mlab(stars))
Another tool, for plotting P-values, is -smileplot-, also downloadable
from SSC. In Stata, type -findit eclplot- and -findit smileplot- to find
more about these packages.
I hope this helps.

It is not clear how your dataset is actually set up. But assume you
get it to a form with three variables, time, perce, and sig, with sig
coded as 1 for "significant" and 0 for not significant. Then you
could do something like:
graph twoway (scatter perc time if sig==0, msym(oh))
(scatter perc time if sig==1, msym(O))
, legend(order(1 "Not Significant" 2 "Significant")) yline(0)
Even more informative would be to plot the confidence interval for
each as a vertical range plot, and let users judge for themselves...
