It means most cases that come before the US Supreme Court are on appeal, being considered under the Court's appellate jurisdiction. When a case is under review (aka on appeal), the facts established at trial are not questioned, and the Court doesn't hold a second trial.
In the Supreme Court, most appellate cases involve specific questions (called federal questions) regarding constitutional law, so most of the "review" is conducted by analyzing the question(s) in light of the justices' interpretation of the US Constitution.
Aside from oral arguments, where the attorneys representing the parties to the case are given 30 minutes each to advocate for their clients (and be grilled by the justices, who usually understand the case better than the representing attorneys do), the justices primarily review existing court documents.
