I came from this post answering on how to add text to text to the plot. However, my problem goes beyond because I need to add text multiple times in multiple locations. The annotate functions seems not to work, and I have tried the geom_text but somehow I am not capable of making it wokr

How can I do this, add multiple "+", "++" or "*"

enter image description here

I leave here my database:

p1 <- ggplot(data = df_plot2, aes( x = RQ_gapdh, y = gen, xmin = after_scale(1),
  fill = Color)) +
  geom_col(width = .5) +
    scale_fill_manual(values = c("indianred1", "olivedrab3" ))+
  labs(
    y = "Genes", x = expression(2^{-Delta*Delta*Ct}),
    title = "Gene expression",
    subtitles = "1 year post-intervention") +   
  guides(fill = "none") +
  facet_wrap(~grup_int,
    labeller = labeller(
      grup_int = c(
        "1" = "Olive oil",
        "2" = "Nuts",
        "3" = "Low-fat diet"
      )
    )
  )  + 
  theme(axis.text.y = element_text(face = "italic", family = "serif"))+
   geom_vline(xintercept = 1, linetype = "dashed", color = "black")+
     scale_x_continuous(limits = c(0.75, 1.25), breaks = c(0.75, 1, 1.25))

    Basically you need to add a column to your data, specifying the label you want to add for each combo of grup_int and gen. Then use a geom_text to add the labels. Commented Nov 20, 2023 at 12:27

Bascially what was stated in comments, add annotations to target gen and grup_int combinations so those can be used with geom_text(), first few as an example:

library(ggplot2)
library(dplyr)

df_plot2 %>% 
  mutate(annotation = case_when(gen == "ABCA1" & grup_int == 1 ~ "++",
                                gen == "PPARD" & grup_int == 1 ~ "+" ,
                                gen == "ABCG1" & grup_int == 2 ~ "+++" ,
                                gen == "NR1H2" & grup_int == 2 ~ "+" )) %>% 
ggplot(aes( x = RQ_gapdh, y = gen, xmin = after_scale(1),
  fill = Color)) +
  geom_col(width = .5) +
    scale_fill_manual(values = c("indianred1", "olivedrab3" ))+
  geom_text(aes(label = annotation), nudge_x = .01, hjust = "left", fontface = "bold") +
  labs(
    y = "Genes", x = expression(2^{-Delta*Delta*Ct}),
    title = "Gene expression",
    subtitles = "1 year post-intervention") +   
  guides(fill = "none") +
  facet_wrap(~grup_int,
    labeller = labeller(
      grup_int = c(
        "1" = "Olive oil",
        "2" = "Nuts",
        "3" = "Low-fat diet"
      )
    )
  )  + 
  theme(axis.text.y = element_text(face = "italic", family = "serif"))+
   geom_vline(xintercept = 1, linetype = "dashed", color = "black")+
     scale_x_continuous(limits = c(0.75, 1.25), breaks = c(0.75, 1, 1.25))
