Do you know what the confidence intervals are at each of your data
points? Put the ± values into tow columns next to the column that
contains your four means. Plot your four means in an appropriate chart
type, then apply error bars, using the ± interval values for the width
of custom error bars.

See this web page for an illustrated example:
