For what it's worth, the -eclplot- package, downloadable from SSC, can
produce detonator plots, using the option -eplottype(bar)-. However,
-eclplot- has the default policy of including the lower confidence limit
in the foreground, and the bar in the background, so the reader can see
the lower confidence limits. To follow the usual policy of producing
detonator plots with the lower confidence limits hidden, the user must
also explicitly specify the option -nociforeground-. Therefore,
-eclplot- should only produce detonator plots with the lower confidence
limits hidden if the user has consciously decided to annoy
statisticians.
-eclplot- was described at the 2005 UK Stata User Meeting (Newson,
2005), and can be downloaded in its Stata 9 version from SSC using the
-ssc- command, or in its Stata 8 version from my website by typing
net from http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/stata8/
in Stata.
I hope this helps.
Roger

This question is commonly asked. The best answer is a page at the
UCLA Stata site, here:

These kinds of bar graphs have also been called dynamite plots in
addition to detonator plots. They are very common in social and also
biological and medical sciences. Despite statisticians' best wishes,
they are not going away soon.
