Perhaps using MultipleListPlot does what you want: (Honestly spoken I
have no idea what you are looking for. :)

<<Graphics`MultipleListPlot`

t1={{1,{3,6,8,19,45}},{2,{4,7,8,23,45}},{3,{5,6,8,27,45}}};

makePoints[{a_,l_}]:=Map[{a,#}&,l];

t2=Map[makePoints,t1]

MultipleListPlot[Sequence@@Transpose[t2],PlotJoined->True]


This will draw five lines in this example (with different  dashing and
point marks).
Things get certainly simpler when the first coordinate is known to be 
1, 2, 3, ...

Hope that helps
