Thanks for your response Nick. Can you please be more specific? For the lowess, to my surprise, adding 'twoway' to the command (.twoway lowess var1 var2) removed all points, depicted only the smooth curve, and enabled rescaling the y-axis. It does not seem to be working for the mlowess though.

-mlowess- (SSC) is user-written, as you are asked to explain.
To get what you want you would need to clone -mlowess- and remove all the graphics calls except those drawing the predicted values given the predictors.
If they are essentially flat w.r.t. the predictors the modelling or smoothing exercise is evidently finding little structure in the data.
