Evelyn Hall: I would like to know how (if) I can extract some of the
information from the summary of my nlme.
Simon Blomberg: This is R. There is no if. Only how.

Something like this should get you in the right direction:
x <- -3:1
y1 <- 0.58 * x + 12.65
y2 <- 1.16 * x + 12.65
As shown in the online images:
matplot(x, cbind(y1, y2), type = "l", ylim = c(8, 15),
lty = c("solid", "dashed"), col = "black")
segments(x, y1, x, y2, lwd = 6)
text(x[-4], y1[-4], label = round(y1[-4], 1), pos = c(3, 3, 3, 1))
text(x[-4], y2[-4], label = round(y2[-4], 1), pos = c(1, 1, 1, 3))
If you only want the bars, you could use:
plot(x, y1, type = "n", ylim = c(8, 15))
segments(x, y1, x, y2, lwd = 6)
text(x[-4], y1[-4], label = round(y1[-4], 1), pos = c(3, 3, 3, 1))
text(x[-4], y2[-4], label = round(y2[-4], 1), pos = c(1, 1, 1, 3))
I am not clear on how you want to label or not label the point at x = 0,
based upon the online images.
See ?matplot, ?segments, ?par and ?text
Also, note par("lend") in ?par, which can adjust the shape of the ends
of the line segments, if you do not want them rounded. However, if you
go 'square' for example, you may not get a plotted point a x = 0, in
which case you can add it in with points().
Also, if you have the actual model objects in R, you can use abline()
for plotting the fitted lines, fitted() to get the model fitted Y values
and predict() to get fitted Y values at specific X values. See ?abline,
?fitted and ?predict.lm for more information.
