For instance, when I print my treatment estimate, I get something like

synthdid: 2.575 +- 0.886

I thought this was a confidence interval, but am somewhat perplexed.

You got it. It's a 95% interval: (point estimate) +- 1.96 * (estimated standard error).

See the format method for more details on what's printed.

Thanks for confirming!
