Relation between variability amplitude and X-ray luminosity for radio-quiet AGNs. (a) Radio-quiet AGNs. (b) Radio-quiet AGNs with efficient accretion. (c) Radio-quiet AGNs with inefficient accretion. Red dots represent sources with efficient accretion, while blue dots denote those with inefficient accretion. The shaded gray regions correspond to 1σ confidence bands. The solid line indicates the best-fit relation.
