Generally speaking if an appeals court or a supreme court, returns the trial transcripts back to the lower court from where it came from, it means that the lower court's decision was a sound.

It is called a remand.
An appellate court can return a case to a lower court by issuing a remand order. This generally occurs when the appellate court determines that the lower court made errors that require further proceedings or reconsideration. The remand allows the lower court to address the issues identified by the appellate court and potentially correct any errors in the initial decision.
Affirming the decision of the lower court means that the appeals court concluded that no error was committed during the lower court trial and that the lower court's decision stands.
