Black solid lines and red bands represent the statistical and systematic uncertainties, respectively. Cyan points represent event averages for $3 < m_{\rm ch}^{\rm TPC} < 30$, and they are plotted at the corresponding value of $m_{\rm ch}^{\rm TPC}$. The uncertainties on the cyan points are smaller than the marker size. The Skellam baselines are shown as dotted lines. The results of the PYTHIA8 calculations are shown by hatched-golden bands. The golden bands at $m_{\rm ch}^{\rm TPC}\approx 6$ are the results from the PYTHIA8 calculations averaged over multiplicities.

Red and grey bands show the systematic uncertainties for $p$+$p$ collisions and Au+Au collisions, respectively. The $m_{\rm ch}^{\rm TPC}$ values are not corrected for the reconstruction efficiency of the TPC. The golden bands at $m_{\rm ch}^{\rm TPC}\approx 6$ represent the results from PYTHIA8 calculations averaged over multiplicity. The Skellam baselines are shown in dotted lines. The purple bands show corresponding susceptibility ratios of baryon number from lattice QCD calculations, where the multiplicity range is chosen arbitrary.
