The X axis is labeled as "tau" in text and it represents quantiles. The Tau symbol is often used to represent quantiles, but it seems an oversight to use it as a textual label.

The points in the graph are coefficient estimates of the same model at various different quantiles, from the picture I would guess every at every .02 quantile from between .1 to .9 (the paper doesn't say exactly). The different plots each represent a different coefficient.
