Retro moves are the moves leading to this position from other positions in the trees. Unplayed transpositions are moves which have not actually been played in the games which were merged into the tree, but which would lead to another known position. Those unplayed moves appear grey. With the checkbox for Show Elo numbers you can toggle the display of the columns Av(erage) and Perf(ormance).

 

Statistics shows additional statistics at the bottom of the window.
