Forest plot using risk ratio and confidence intervals

How to make forest plot like this using risk ratio and confidence intervals with the comparison labels? I don't want R to automatically group the comparison, I just want to plot the forest plot with the labels at the left hand side. Thank you.

I use this code:

d=result
df=data.frame(d)

cochrane_from_rmeta <- 
  structure(list(
    mean  = df$RiskRatio, 
    lower = df$LowerLimit,
    upper = df$UpperLimit),
    .Names = c("RiskRatio", "lower", "upper"), 
    row.names = c(NA, -14L), 
    class = "data.frame")

tabletext<-cbind(
  c(df$Outcomes),
  c(df$Comparison),
  c(df$...4),
  c(df$RiskRatio))

forestplot(tabletext, 
           cochrane_from_rmeta,new_page = TRUE,
           is.summary=c(TRUE,TRUE,rep(FALSE,8),TRUE),
           clip=c(0.1,2.5), 
           xlog=TRUE, 
           col=fpColors(box="royalblue",line="darkblue", summary="royalblue"))

but it shows error

Is this what you mean: cran.r-project.org/web/packages/forestplot/vignettes/… ? I.e. if you're using forestplot() specify graph.pos = 2 - jared_mamrot
@jared_mamrot I tried the code above but its not working - turtle
I have added in the code and data as above - turtle

Is this what you're trying to achieve?
