There are some standardized effect sizes for LME models described in
the literature, but none are, as far as I know, included in the lme
toolbox, so one would still need to implement them.

In my opinion, it's therefore easiest to express the magnitude of
changes / differences in terms of unstandardized effect sizes, i.e. the
beta coefficients estimated by the model.

That really depends on how your plot should look like, and may require
some custom Matlab programming. For 'spaghetti'-style plots (i.e. a
bunch of individual slopes), have you explored the 'lme_timePlot'
function?
