Since a CI width typically is proportional (at least approximately) to the SD divided by the root group size, in the boxplots you have added to this post, where there is no overlap among any of the middles (the "boxes"), it's immediately clear that all pairwise differences are significant provided the group sizes are larger than 5 or so.

Jun 27, 2023 at 19:58 comment added whuber There might be some misconception about boxplots implicit here. (1) Boxplots usually don't display CIs (and when they do it's an additional graphical feature shown as a "notch"). (2) Overlaps of CIs are not appropriate statistical tests unless properly adjusted.
