The -eclplot- package (downloadable from SSC) plots general Stata 8 plots 
of estimates and confidence limits, and can be used to produce Cochrane 
forest plots (with symbols weighted by study size). The -metaparm-- package 
(also downloadable from SSC) can be used to produce the summary confidence 
intervals, if you already have a dataset with 1 observation per study 
confidence interval and data including the estimates and standard errors of 
the study-specific effects.

Hope this helps.
