    They don't do anything other than visual layout, they are Reroute nodes. As there are now several of them in line Blender shows in which side result is going to. – Mr Zak Jul 10 '17 at 10:11

Since Reroute nodes don't have any input or output sockets, they are essentially just one floating isolated socket it is impossible to clearly determine at first sight if one connection is coming in or out of said node.

For this reason, to make it clearer to the user, output connections show an arrow pointing in the information flow direction.
